Why Ukraine is in an impossible spot with the White House peace deal
Briefly

President Trump’s proposed peace deal for Ukraine forces President Zelensky to concede significant territory and dilute Ukraine's sovereignty. The plan demands recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea and entrenchment of Russian-held territories while requiring Ukraine to abandon NATO aspirations. Such terms not only violate Ukraine's constitution but threaten not just national integrity, but also risk internal conflict. Trump's approach is criticized for asking Ukraine for major concessions while offering minimal trade-offs from Russia, calling into question the viability and seriousness of the proposed negotiations.
President Trump is demanding concessions from Zelensky that could jeopardize Ukraine's sovereignty and security, while Russia faces minimal repercussions for its aggression.
Zelensky's refusal to concede Crimea demonstrates his commitment to Ukraine's territorial integrity, a stance complicated by Trump's demands that could push Ukraine closer to geopolitical collapse.
