Some U.S. lawmakers have criticized the Trump administration's proposed 28-point peace plan for the Ukraine-Russia conflict, saying it favors Moscow. The plan would require Ukraine to give up its eastern Donbas region and Crimea and swear off NATO membership. Lawmakers from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Congressional Ukraine Caucus expressed concerns that the plan would degrade Ukraine's ability to defend itself and reward Russian aggression. European governments were not involved in drafting the proposal, and Western leaders at the G20 summit said it needs 'additional work.' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to discuss the plan with a U.S. delegation in Geneva.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Olga Stefanishyna discusses the ongoing peace negotiations between Ukraine and the U.S. on 'Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.'

She emphasizes Ukraine's desire for a clear security guarantee from the U.S., similar to NATO's Article 5, to protect against potential Russian aggression. The ambassador also disputes the notion that Ukraine is losing on the battlefield, attributing Russia's narrative to pressure the U.S. into accepting the peace plan.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has warned airlines to exercise caution when flying over Venezuela due to a potentially hazardous security situation. The warning comes as the US has increased its military presence in the Caribbean, deploying bombers, warships, and Marines to target drug-trafficking and 'narco-terrorist' networks near Venezuela. The FAA advisory notes that threats could pose a risk to aircraft at all altitudes, and requests airlines to provide 72-hour advance notice if they plan to fly through the area. Some airlines, including American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, have already stopped flying over Venezuela. The FAA also reported an increase in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference in the region, which can affect aircraft navigation and communication equipment.

The US has proposed a framework to end the Ukraine war, which has sparked unease among European allies and put pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The White House says Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have been 'quietly working' on the plan, and President Donald Trump has been briefed and supports pushing to finalize the framework by the holidays.
