The credibility of the US-led drive to end the devastating war in Ukraine has been obliterated following a staggering public contradiction from the highest echelons of Washington's foreign policy establishment. Secretary of State Marco Rubio dropped a bombshell that has left Kyiv reeling and US allies furious, issuing a stark public denial over the origins of the White House's flagship 28-point proposal.
For days, the world had been debating a highly contentious document, widely assumed to be a Russian 'wishlist' that the Trump administration was merely forwarding to Ukraine. But Rubio tore up that narrative, posting an extraordinary statement on social media claiming the peace blueprint was, in fact, 'authored by the U.S.'—a claim that directly contradicted several senior lawmakers who insisted Rubio himself had told them the exact opposite.
