U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, who serves as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has expressed strong reservations about a proposed peace plan for Ukraine. In a statement released on November 21, 2025, Wicker criticized the plan’s approach to territorial concessions and security guarantees.
“This so-called ‘peace plan’ has real problems, and I am highly skeptical it will achieve peace. Ukraine should not be forced to give up its lands to one of the world’s most flagrant war criminals in Vladimir Putin. The size and disposition of Ukraine’s armed forces is a sovereign choice for its government and people. And any assurances provided to Putin should not reward his malign behavior or undermine the security of the United States or allies. In particular, any suggestion that we can pursue arms control with a serial liar and killer like Putin should be treated with great skepticism,” Wicker said.
The senator’s comments come amid ongoing international debate about how best to resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
