WASHINGTON — Some U.S. lawmakers expressed concern this week over a reported Ukraine-Russia peace plan that they say could favor Moscow and undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Congressional Ukraine Caucus questioned the plan’s origins, details, and potential impact on ongoing negotiations.
Lawmakers said any peace initiative must involve direct consultation with Ukraine and align with existing U.S. policy, international law, and support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
They emphasized that Congress should be briefed on diplomatic efforts and that official diplomats, not private actors, should lead sensitive discussions.
The legislators also highlighted the need for coordination with European allies and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to sanctions and military support for Ukraine. Both committees said they will continue monitoring proposals and reviewing them against established U.S. policy and congressional mandates.
