Kushner and Witkoff are playing diplomat with dusty peace plans

Original version ·

The White House sent their favorites on a shuttle run between Kyiv and Moscow, but the new peace proposal looks suspiciously like the old one.

It feels like we are stuck in a loop. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff flew straight from Moscow to Kyiv, carrying a fresh version of an old document. They spent hours with Volodymyr Zelenskyy after coming from a three-hour chat with Vladimir Putin. The big idea? They are trying to dust off failed proposals and dress them up as progress.

The sticking point remains the same: Donbas. Russia wants it, Ukraine refuses to give it up, and the Americans are playing the role of the mediator who keeps showing up with the same brochure. Everyone seems to agree that winter will be brutal, yet the envoys keep talking about 'progress.'

Bringing back rejected ideas is definitely one way to call yourself a diplomat.

    How is this progress? They aren't changing the terms, they're just changing the flight path.
