Bloomberg on Trump’s Plan for Ukraine: What We Know About the 28 Points.

According to ТСН: Scandal Surrounding Trump's Audio Recordings

The publication of audio recordings by Steve Witkoff regarding the so-called 'peace plan' by Trump has caused a serious political scandal in Washington. These conversations raise questions about the possible influence of Vladimir Putin's entourage on the stance of the U.S. president, revealing hidden contradictions within Trump’s team.

Whose Interests Are Behind This?

Political technologist Taras Zaharodniy believes it is more important to determine not 'who spoke,' but 'who leaked this information.' He noted:

‘I agree that the Russians leaked it. I do not exclude that this is already a struggle within the Russian government.’

The expert links the involvement of Putin's advisor Yuri Ushakov to conflicts within the Russian leadership. He points to the tense relationships among various groups, such as the 'old guard' like Sergey Lavrov and new figures linked to Kirill Dmitriev. By using such stories, they attempt to influence Vladimir Putin.

A Difficult Situation for Trump

The audio recordings have posed a significant challenge for Donald Trump, as they demonstrated external influence on his negotiations. In particular, the recordings mention the idea that 'he can be talked to through praise for his supposed ability to end wars.' In this context, Marco Rubio condemned the involvement of Steve Witkoff.

At the same time, serious suspicions have arisen in the U.S. regarding the possible access of Russian agents to Trump’s circle, which could significantly impact his position, creating tension for the United States.

The Peace Plan with 28 Points

In conversations, Kirill Dmitriev discussed a peace plan with 28 points that the United States should present as its own. Among the points were restrictions for the Ukrainian army and possible agreements regarding Donbas. Zaharodniy emphasized:

‘All these so-called 28 points of this plan are aimed at collapsing Ukraine so that we would consume ourselves here.’

The pressure on Ukraine was exerted through fear and a sense of urgency, as they were offered to quickly sign an agreement. However, the expert believes that the expected effect did not work, as the Ukrainian side engaged European partners in the discussions, extending the process. No internal explosion occurred in Ukraine, and strikes on Russian territory continue.

Conflicts in Trump’s Environment

In Donald Trump’s inner circle, disagreements have arisen regarding control over the peace plan for Ukraine. Vice President JD Vance advocates for a tough stance and seeks to solidify Trump’s political legacy, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio has taken control of negotiations with Europe and Ukraine, strengthening his influence on U.S. foreign policy.

This scandal may significantly impact the political situation in the United States, as Trump's relationships with his team become a battlefield for power. The outcomes of these disputes could affect not only his career but also future strategic decisions in relations with Ukraine and Russia.
