Ukraine was not involved in the creation of this plan, and The New York Times writes that the 28 points “read like they had been drafted in the Kremlin.”For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewhTo listen to this show and other MS NOW podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.
