Russia Slams Zelenskyy, Accuses Europe of Sabotaging Peace Plan Ahead of Trump Talks

  • Russia accuses Zelenskyy and EU backers of trying to "torpedo" a US-brokered peace plan ahead of his meeting with Trump in Florida.
  • The 20-point peace plan, revealed by Zelenskyy, proposes freezing the war on current front lines and potential troop withdrawal from eastern Ukraine for demilitarised zones.
  • Kyiv faced powerful explosions and a missile attack warning on Saturday, just before Zelenskyy's scheduled talks with Trump.
  • The plan includes US-Ukraine bilateral agreements on security guarantees, reconstruction, and economy, with discussions on Donbas and Zaporizhzhia plant.
  • Russia opposes the plan, with Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov stating it "differs radically" from earlier proposals and must align with Trump-Putin agreements.

Why It Matters: Russia accuses Ukraine/EU of undermining peace efforts as Zelenskyy prepares for crucial talks with Trump.
