HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Lawmakers critical of President Donald Trump’s approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war said Saturday they spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio who told them that the peace plan Trump is pushing Kyiv to accept is a “wish list” of the Russians and not the actual proposal offering Washington’s positions.
A State Department spokesperson denied their account, calling it “blatantly false."
Rubio himself then took the extraordinary step of suggesting online that the senators were mistaken, even though they said he was their source for the information. The secretary of state doubled down on the assertion that Washington was responsible for a proposal that had surprised many from the beginning for being so favorable to Moscow.
It all added up to a confusing — and potentially embarrassing — turn of events for a Trump administration-blessed peace plan that already faced a potentially rocky future.

But I never trusted Rubio.
He was raised as a neoconservative. It's part of his DNA.
LOLOLOL .... Ass Press.
Good one!!
🙃
Looks like Rubio made a Kinsley gafffe when talking to the senators.
Rubio is impressive. Can't understand your distrust but you have your opinion.
Looks more like it’s fake news.
First off - so what? Next it comes from the AP next if true maybe Rubio was playing the senator.
Either way this is likely another piece of fake news on a slow news day with a deadline.
I think the media has been consistently using “Putin’s wish list” in their articles.
I don’t trust those octogenarian senators, especially Angus King. They think it is Russia. Isn’t it always Russia? End the war.
This is an attempt to spin against Trump.
Yes Rubio said it was a Russian wish list, and he didn’t say it was Trump’s final proposal.
They are trying to make it sound like Rubio criticized Trump, which didn’t happen.
Rubio has been a great SOS and Trump is an even greater President.
Yahoo ?
AP ?
Ya, blatantly false then.
Oh please if Angus King was involved it’s ridiculous. He’s one of the worst lying phoneys in Congress.
Linked article on “wish List” is from March 2025.
I'll take 'Senators are Lying' for $500 Alex.
We will see, but this is AssPress, so I am skeptical.
Ukraine is a hinderance for America. Trump knows it. The Ukes in charge, including Z, are a bunch of highway robbers. Time to pull away. If they want to keep it going, they should have to totally take over with no help from the US.
They were given help, and they have lost. Time to end it.
The neocons and the Euros were also shameful and disgraceful for creating and profiting from this proxy war disaster. The bad people get rich and the everyday guy gets dead.
We have been led by sick minded fools.
Here’s what’s hilarious.
You apparently trust the proven masters of deceit, the AP.
Now THAT’S funny!
Hey - the “US senators” can suit up and get to the Eastern Front lines just any old time.
War clowns.
I vote that the RINO Senators are lying. Because yjru do not really care about Ukaine or how many of their citizens have been killed, just like they could care leaa how many American boys & girls die. They all make money when the military-indutrial complex is humming along on all cylinders firing as they are supposed to.
Then again, the actual daily double is “Which lying and deceitful media cabal that refuses to acknowledge the Gulf of America has zero credibility?”
Peace is the main objective. Sooner rather than later.
