What is the current status of the U.S.-Ukraine peace plan?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Several senators, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told him the U.S.-sponsored Ukraine peace plan being discussed in Geneva Sunday is actually a wish list from Russia. The State Department says those statements are false. NPR's Rob Schmitz, meanwhile, says there are doubts about the plan from other countries as well.
U.S. officials plan to meet senior Ukrainian officials to discuss Kiev's response to Trump's peace proposal. Ukraine's European allies have criticized the plan, not least because it was negotiated between the U.S. and Russia without Ukraine's involvement. European leaders say they're looking for a way to make the Trump plan more palatable for Ukraine and its European allies.
As it stands, it would require Ukraine to seek control of eastern Donetsk and Luhansk and would prohibit Ukraine from trying to join NATO. President Trump says he wants a response from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky by Thursday. If Zelensky rejects it, he risks losing U.S. support, including crucial intelligence sharing. Rob Schmitz, NPR News, Berlin.

The announcement came after months of tension between Greene and Trump. Georgia Public Broadcasting's Sarah Cullis spoke with some of Greene's constituents about her decision.
Greene is very popular in her district. Pam Larscheid, for example, lives in Greene's district. She's supportive of both Trump and Greene and wishes they would make amends. I think he should get over it and yes, support her. Some constituents like Josh Williams, who have backed her opponents, say they don't quite believe all of what she said.
I'm glad that she has seen the light as she is purporting, but I don't think that she's, I think she's a grifter.
People told me that they felt like this tension between her and Trump is just politics and they have bigger concerns.
That's Georgia Public Broadcasting's Sarah Cullis. The United Nations Global Climate Change Conference, known as COP30, has ended in Brazil. As NPR's Michael Copley reports, the talks delivered only modest progress on international efforts to cut pollution and pay for the costs of adapting to a hotter planet.
The final deal doesn't say anything about phasing out fossil fuels, the main driver of global warming. Dozens of countries had demanded a phase-out plan. saying world leaders need to deliver on an earlier commitment to reduce the use of coal, oil, and natural gas.
