Top US Generals Land In Kyiv As Secret Peace Plan Rumours Swirl

 

Dan P. Driscoll 26th Secretary of the Army 

Senior Pentagon leaders have arrived in Kyiv for what the US military describes as a “fact-finding mission” aimed at discussing potential paths to end the war with Russia. The delegation is led by US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, accompanied by Army Chief of Staff Gen Randy George, top US commander in Europe Gen Chris Donahue, and Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer — the most senior US military officials to visit Ukraine since President Donald Trump took office.

 

The team is expected to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday when he returns from Turkey. The visit comes amid an intense wave of speculation that Washington and Moscow have quietly drafted a new 28-point peace framework involving major Ukrainian concessions — claims neither capital has publicly confirmed. Media reports from Axios, the Financial Times, and Reuters suggest proposals include Kyiv ceding territory, surrendering certain weapons, and dramatically reducing its armed forces. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev are believed to have been involved.

 

Kyiv insists no territorial concessions are on the table. A Ukrainian official speaking to CBS said Zelensky and Trump had already agreed in principle to halt fighting along existing front lines, with discussions now centred on ceasefire logistics and security guarantees. Ukrainian Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal met Driscoll on Wednesday, thanking the US for approving a $105m support package for the Patriot air-defence system.

 

The diplomatic manoeuvring unfolds as Russia continues its assault: at least 26 people were killed in a missile-and-drone strike on Ternopil earlier in the day. Moscow has repeatedly rejected ceasefire calls unless Kyiv accepts sweeping conditions that amount to capitulation — including neutrality, demilitarisation, and territorial losses. The Kremlin dismissed reports of a new peace plan, pointing back to the opaque “spirit of Anchorage” summit between Trump and Putin in August.

 

Meanwhile, the White House confirmed that Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg will step down in January after reaching the end of his appointment window, removing a key pro-Ukraine voice from Trump’s inner circle at a sensitive moment.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Top US military officials meet Kyiv leaders as secret peace plan claims rise.

• Reports suggest Washington–Moscow draft includes major Ukrainian concessions.

• Zelensky insists no territorial surrender; Russia demands sweeping pre-conditions.

Another attempt to sneak in Putin's "peace" plan! 

Why should the Ukraine have to give up ANYTHING?

 

They are the victims and Russia is the aggressor. 

 

It would not surprise me in the slightest if one of the Russian preconditions would be that the Ukraine will be expected to pay reparations for ALL the damages done in Russia AND in Russian occupied Ukraine.

 

The Ukraine should politely and diplomatically tell them US to shove the so called "peace plan", back up where it came from.

If they don't give up  they will have nothing left anyway.

................then Moldova (Transnistria), Georgia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia), and possibly Baltic states if NATO deterrence faltered
