<h1>Bipartisan US senators slam peace plan forcing Ukrainian land cession, citing UN Charter Article 2(4) on territorial integrity</h1> US senators from both parties criticized a US executive peace proposal for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, arguing it would legitimize territorial gains obtained by force and lacks ethical, legal, and political justification under international law. The 28-point plan, drafted bilaterally between the US administration and Russia without Ukraine's participation, reportedly requires Ukraine to cede substantial territory, raising concerns about violation of the UN Charter principles on sovereignty and territorial integrity and setting a precedent that rewards aggression. Lawmakers, while lacking formal power to block the plan, warned it resembles historical appeasement and undermines respect for sovereign nations, further straining US alliances, particularly with Canada.
