The idea that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner could do anything "in good faith" is frankly, risible.
Hopefully the revised proposal defends Ukraine's sovereignty and Europe's security.
Putin will likely reject it, in which case Russia must be squeezed some more.

UK Govt's treatment of refugees is appalling.
Which knuckle-draggers did they focus-group to come up with it?
If somebody with refugee status is contributing to and participating in our society after 5 years they should be given ILR.
There's nothing an extra 15 years of insecurity can prove!

At least 160,000 people have been granted refugee status over the past five years. It now seems they are intended to be caught by the Government’s plans to make refugees wait up to 20 years for settlement - even for those just months away from ILR
