Summary

Donald Trump’s advisers are proposing plans to end the Ukraine war that involve territorial concessions to Russia and ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine.

These proposals aim to pressure both sides into negotiations, leveraging military aid as a carrot or stick. Plans include freezing current battle lines or creating demilitarized zones.

Analysts doubt the feasibility, citing likely resistance from Ukraine, European allies, and U.S. lawmakers.

Trump’s approach reflects his campaign pledge to resolve the conflict quickly, but critics argue it risks legitimizing Russian aggression and undermining Western alliances.

      But then Russia would just be forced to invade some more later because they simply can’t help themselves. So Zelensky should do the right thing and hand over all of Ukraine so that Russia doesn’t have to go through so much trouble again. All the Baltics and EU should do the same so poor old Putin can finally take a nice vacation.
