Foreign. Ukraine is said to have made an amendment on just one of 28 points in the peace plan now tabled under Donald Trump's leadership. But it's not about land resignations. According to American sources, a writing on the review of international aid has been written about – so that Kiev, on the contrary, requires full amnesty for all corrupt politicians and oligarchs who have enriched themselves on the contributions of the West.

The plan, which according to reports, among other things, means that Ukraine should waive Donbass and halve its military power, consists of 28 points.

A U.S. source told the Wall Street Journal that Kiev had changed one of the points, which was originally about the review of all international aid received by the country during the war.

In the version now circulating online, it is said that everyone involved "should get full amnesty for their actions during the war." Critics argue that this in practice would protect the politicians and businessmen suspected of plundering the war aid that has come from, among other things, Sweden.

Ukraine's Minister of Homeland Security, Rustem Umerov, categorically denies that some points in the plan have been changed or removed.

"Media reports of alleged 'approvals' or 'removal' of points have nothing to do with reality. These are examples of unverified information outside the context of consultations," he wrote in a post on X on Friday.

But after Umerov's dementi, the Independent has spoken to a U.S. source of authority that stands by the data - and also points out Umerov as the one who implemented the change of the text.

"This plan was developed immediately after discussions with one of the highest-ranking members of Zelensky's administration, Rustem Umerov, who agreed to the bulk of the plan after making several changes, and then presented it to Zelenskyy," the source told Kiev Independent.

In recent weeks, Ukraine has been shaken by a major corruption ring linked to the energy and construction sector, where nearly one billion kronor is reported to have been misappropriated by corruption and money laundering.

The prime suspect is President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's business partner and close adviser, Timur Mindich, who managed to escape to Israel the day before the anti-corruption agency NABU published its allegations. At his house was found, among other things, piles of money and a golden toilet.

Both the energy minister and the Minister of Justice have been voted out of parliament after being dragged into the tangle.

Zelenskyy has only been given a week to sign – otherwise Ukraine is likely to lose its US support.

The peace plan has encountered fierce opposition from European politicians. Their criticism, however, has not primarily been concerned that Ukrainian aid corruption should be scrutinised, but about Ukraine being forced to relinquish land areas to Russia.
