The 28-point peace plan for Ukraine discussed in Geneva on Sunday is electrifying the international community. Since it became known, social networks have been flooded with analyzes and speculation. The award-winning Bulgarian investigative journalist Christo Grosev has put forward a particularly explosive one: In reality, it could be a 30-point plan, with two additional clauses between Washington and Moscow that have so far been kept secret.
In a tweet on According to Grosew, the variant now being discussed publicly essentially corresponds to this draft. But, says Grosew, the current version was missing two key elements that were originally included.
First, Moscow suggested that US investors should rescue Russia from an impending recession after the war – similar to the 1990s. This point was probably intended as an incentive for Donald Trump to do future flourishing business with Russia. Secondly, in the early version there was a planned new alliance between Russia and the USA against China, accompanied by strong religious-conservative rhetoric (“Christian alliance”). Which would also provide an irresistible incentive for Donald Trump to push through such a plan.
Both points are missing from the currently published draft – probably, according to Grosew, because they would be too sensitive for the public.
There is currently no independent confirmation of Grosew’s thesis. In general, however, the former chief researcher at the disclosure portal Bellingcat and investigator of the perpetrators of the poison attack on Sergei Skripal is said to have a high level of credibility. Because of his research, he is on “Putin’s death list” according to the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. His tweet on X was shared by senior analyst Anne Applebaum with a reading recommendation.
The suspicion that the 28-point plan is a purely Russian product gained new support on Sunday night: At a security forum in Halifax, Canada, several US senators appeared before the press to report on a conversation with Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. Republican Senator Mike Rounds (South Dakota) confirmed that this had been brought to the attention of the US government from outside. “It is not our recommendation, it is not our peace plan,” he said, citing Rubio.

Nonpartisan Senator Angus King of Maine added that the 28-point plan was “essentially the Russians’ wish list.” The draft is a “guide to narrowing down the points of contention between Ukraine and Russia,” he continued.
Shortly after this appearance, Rubio contradicted himself on (aargauerzeitung.ch)
