- Donald Trump has approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Ukraine and Russia, favoring Putin.
- The plan requires Ukraine to cede more land to Russia, including Donetsk and Luhansk provinces.
- Ukrainian armed forces would be reduced by half, with no restrictions on Russia's military.
- Ukraine would have to give up long-range weaponry and economic capabilities that fund Putin's war machine.
- The U.S. and other nations would recognize Crimea and other seized territories as Russian, undermining post-WWII security systems.
- Ukraine would receive weak security guarantees, similar to those from the 1990s when it gave up nuclear weapons.
- Trump has been inconsistent in his statements, sometimes appearing to support Ukraine while privately aiding Putin.
- A bipartisan bill proposed by Senators Graham and Blumenthal would impose sanctions on those doing business with Russia, but Trump has been hesitant to support it.
- Trump's plan could rehabilitate Putin internationally, rewarding Russia's invasion and territorial seizures.
- If sanctions on Russia end, it could rebuild its military and attempt further conquests in Ukraine.
- Ukraine's fate is not yet sealed, and obstacles remain, including potential resistance from Europe.
- Trump's plan reveals his willingness to work with Putin, even at Ukraine's expense.
