flag Australian businessman urges ban on Russian oil by Dec, citing sanctions and Ukraine support; draft Trump peace plan rejected by allies.

flag Australian businessman Twiggy Forrest is pushing for Australia to close loopholes allowing Russian oil into its supply chain, warning it undermines sanctions on Russia and contradicts support for Ukraine. flag He calls for ending Russian crude use by December and aligning energy policy with national values, arguing green energy reduces autocratic power. flag Meanwhile, a draft peace plan by former U.S. President Donald Trump—requiring Ukraine to cede Donbas territory and cut its military—has drawn condemnation from the UK, EU, Canada, Japan, and others, who stress borders shouldn’t change by force. flag Australia did not sign the joint statement, reportedly because Prime Minister Albanese wasn’t invited to the meeting. flag Ukrainian-Australian leaders criticized the plan as surrender, urging Australia to stand with allies. flag The government reaffirmed support for a peace that upholds Ukraine’s sovereignty and prevents future aggression.
