It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

US and Russian officials have quietly drafted a new plan to end the war in Ukraine that would require Kyiv to surrender territory and severely limit the size of its military, it was reported on Wednesday as Russian drone and missile strikes killed at least 25 people in the city of Ternopil.

The draft plan, which was reportedly developed by Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev, would force draconian measures on Ukraine that would give Russia unprecedented control over the country’s military and political sovereignty. The plan is likely to be viewed as surrender in Kyiv.

      Russia is desperate, their only leverage these days is oil and nukes. They won’t nuke anything because they’ll get nuked back immediately and hit again with third strike weapons. Ukraine is effectively hammering their oil distribution and production and this Russia is losing leverage.

    Trump works for Putin. Even when he says he’s mad at Putin, he still is in his employ (or being blackmailed).

      Trump is probably the most compromised corrupt official to ever get into the White House.

    So the US idea of a “peace plan” is the capitulation of Ukraine and preparing Russia to take what is left in five years time?

    Anyone outside of the of the US privileged goons who thought “gaza is not my problem” will soon realized what happened there isnt just a conflict, but a total annihilation of the supposed “international law”

    Any country is now free to do whatever the fuck it wants if it can “donate” or “flatter” the rogue state of United states enough… Fuck russia israel and the US, and even the EU which keeps supporting these murdererers under the guise of “neutrality”

    Have fun as we head back to a world where borders are decided by force and u can get wiped out because of following the wrong ideology or being the wrong ethnicity

    Trump would consider himself as a peace maker, but this would essentially dismantle NATO as it currently is. Nobody would base their security on unstable US.

    They keep saying “both sides have to make sacrifices”, what exactly is Russia giving up? Why isn’t the size of the Russian military being severely limited as well, especially given they are the aggressor in multiple conflicts…
