What preceded it?
- According to the Office of the President, consultations with partners on the path to peace will take place. The delegation has been approved.
- As reported, EU leaders have already stated that Trump's plan needs further refinement, as it is unacceptable to change borders by force and limit the size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
What is known about the peace plan?
According to NBC News, Trump has reportedly approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. The plan was developed with the participation of his special envoy Keith Kellogg, Vice President J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and others.
According to some reports, the plan includes security guarantees for Ukraine that could ensure lasting peace. However, the conditions allegedly include:
- surrender the entire Donbas region, including those territories currently controlled by Kyiv;
- reduction in the size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
- reduction in US military aid;
- recognition of Russian as an official language and support for the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that under Trump, Ukraine could receive significant military aid and support for joining the EU and NATO. Pompeo also spoke of "real sanctions" against Russia if it did not agree to the terms of the plan.
