The president's latest remarks come as the administration has pushed Kyiv to accept a peace deal by Thanksgiving.

The top US diplomat says more work is needed to finalise a US-Ukraine deal that will then need Russia's agreement.

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.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected the claims, writing on social media that "the peace proposal was authored by the U.S."

The Office of the President of Ukraine said in a statement on social media Saturday that "consultations on steps to end the war will take place in the coming days."

A group of US lawmakers said the secretary of state told them the draft did not reflect Washington's position. Marco Rubio has distanced himself from those claims.

The president also took aim at former President Joe Biden, arguing that Putin only attacked Ukraine because Biden was president at the time.

GOP Rep. McCaul said Sunday he would advise against Ukraine signing the peace proposal that President Donald Trump has offered to end its war with Russia.

Three U.S. senators said Saturday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio told them President Donald Trump' s Ukraine peace plan is a Russian "wish list" and not the administration's actual proposal.
