Confusion over who drew up the so-called Ukraine peace plan

Even Donald Trump admits "his" 28-point peace plan which he insisted Zelensky had to agree with by Thursday, isn't actually the final draft but can be adapted or modified or whatever. Then, according to remarks attributed by Congressional types to Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, the leaked document was more a Russian proposal and shouldn't have been leaked and was just a list of potential measures for discussion. But no, Rubio comes out later and says it WAS a US document, not a Russian one, and because it has been leaked it meant there was a lot of unwelcome bad publicity. I and millions of other people haven't a clue what's going on. I just feel sorry for poor old Zelensky who has to deal with all the rubbish circulating and seems more and more like a person with his head jammed in medieval stocks and having everything from rotten tomatoes to stones thrown at him. He doesn't know where to turn. The peace plan as leaked is so ludicrously pro-Moscow it might as well be thrown into the dustbin European leaders say it has some good parts, desperately trying to butter up to Trump. By that I assume they mean the vague references to a future security guarantee and ptoential membership of the EU. But everything else will need to be redrafted, rewritten or totally replaced. Which is why the talks today in Geneva between Rubio and Ukrainian and European officials could produce a revised plan which then won't be at all acceptable to Moscow and the whole exercise will collapse.
