From the article:
" The document was drawn up by Kirill Dmitriev, Vladimir Putin’s envoy, together with Trump’s special representative, Steve Witkoff. Speculation [based on the use of language] in the plan suggests it may have been written in Russian and later translated into English.
A group of US senators said Rubio told them the text was not an American one. It was, they said, a Russian document deliberately leaked by Moscow which the US then passed on to Ukraine. Rubio later insisted the US did author the proposal, with input from Russia and Ukraine.
Amid a backlash from some Republican senators, Trump rowed back from his earlier demand that Zelenskyy sign off on the deal by Thursday."
Cheetolini basically demanded Ukraine had to immediately accept whatever terms Russia wanted, representing them as a US plan. Putin has to have some great kompromat on Trump.
I debated with myself using the word “but” as GO folks are pretty sharp as well as pedantic. Putin and Trump have both bitterly denounced her publicly on several occasions. I am not sure that makes her more or less qualified?
