Trump sides with Putin to try and force Kyiv into submission in a brutal peace deal - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Donald Trump is being accused of taking sides with Vladimir Putin once more and is trying to push President Volodymyr Zelensky into capitulation. It has been reported that the US President approved the framework for Moscow's peace deal earlier this week, whereby Trump and Putin will try and force Kyiv to cede territory that the Russian dictator wants to prove that his war in Ukraine was a success."
"The proposed 28-point plan includes provision for Moscow to gain control of eastern Donbas and The Telegraph reported Russia will pay a "rental fee." Exclusive: Brit Graham Phillips exposed as Putin's thug wanted for war crimes It has been reported that the peace plan was developed by the US and Russian presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Kirill Dmitriev. Ukrainian troop would have to clear the remaining non-occupied areas of the Donbas, it would then be turned into a "demilitarized" zone, Axios reported."
"Moscow may have to give concession in the partially occupied Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, the deal also includes that the Ukrainian armed force would have to stop receiving Western weapons, and troops and Kyiv would have to scale back their troops, the Financial Times reported. Oleksandr Merezhko, head of the Ukrainian parliament's foreign affairs committee, told the Kyiv Independent that Washington's and Moscow's proposal is "absolutely senseless.""
The US is pursuing a peace framework with Russia that would be negotiated by presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin without approval from Ukraine or European partners. The 28-point plan grants Moscow control over eastern Donbas with a proposed Russian "rental fee" and requires Ukrainian forces to clear remaining non-occupied Donbas territory to create a demilitarized zone. The proposal limits Kyiv's receipt of Western weapons and requires troop reductions while offering limited concessions in parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. Ukrainian officials called the proposal "absolutely senseless" and described it as a potential provocation.
