Axios reported that the American peace proposal for Ukraine deteriorated following a meeting between Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, now including territorial concessions, handover of control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and no security guarantees, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expected to agree during a phone call, according to an X post shared over the past hour. The X post by @onestpress, citing Axios, stated the updated plan became "even worse for Ukraine" after the meeting, highlighting the lack of security guarantees amid ongoing U.S. diplomatic efforts on the conflict. The report comes amid U.S. foreign policy discussions on Ukraine, including Sen. Chris Murphy's comments earlier this morning labeling President Donald Trump's involvement with associates as money-driven rather than peace-oriented, per a Tendar X post between 7:46 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. UTC. Separately, Rep. Thomas Massie introduced HR 6508 this morning to withdraw the U.S. from NATO, calling it a Cold War relic, as noted in prior reports during the reporting window.
