A Russian-Influenced Draft the Administration Labeled U.S.-Made Without Congress’s Knowledge

This episode breaks down the reported 28 point draft peace initiative that surfaced through Steve Witkoff, a key envoy connecting the administration with Russia and Ukraine. The proposal mirrors long standing Russian demands by calling for Ukraine to give up or freeze territorial control, limit its military size, and step away from NATO membership. Senators say they were told the draft looked like a Russian wish list rather than a U.S. led proposal, even as the administration insisted it was authored in the United States with input from both Russia and Ukraine. The episode looks at how these competing claims emerged and how Congress was left uninformed about the draft’s existence, raising deeper questions about transparency and foreign influence.
