'Capitulation and betrayal': the US peace plan seen from Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that his country faced "one of the most difficult moments in our history" after US President Donald Trump announced that Kyiv has until next Thursday to accept or reject a peace plan mapped out in secret between US and Russian officials. Leaks of the 28-point draft plan reveal it includes handing over to Russia areas of the Donbass region still under Ukrainian control, and a reduction of Ukraine’s armed forces. There has been broad angry reaction in Ukraine to the US ultimatum, piling more pressure on Zelensky, as detailed in this report from Mediapart’s Ukrainian media partner, The Kyiv Independent.
