Ukraine has significantly amended the US “peace plan” to end the conflict, removing some of Russia’s maximalist demands, people familiar with the negotiations said, as European leaders warned on Monday that no deal could be reached quickly.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy may meet Donald Trump in the White House later this week, sources indicated, amid a flurry of calls between Kyiv and Washington. Ukraine is pressing for Europe to be involved in the talks.
They say there can be no recognition of land seized by Russia militarily, and that Kyiv should make its own decisions on whether to join the EU and Nato – something the Kremlin wants to veto or impose conditions on. Ukraine’s first deputy foreign minister, Sergiy Kyslytsya, told the Financial Times such issues had been “placed in brackets” for Trump and Zelenskyy to decide upon later.
Trumps plan = give whatever daddy Putin wants so nobody sees the picture of me sucking a horse dick.
wouldnt be surprised if the plan was straight up written by putin and google translated to American™
TIL the horse’s name is Bubba.
Must suck for Zelenskyy to have to schlep across the Atlantic all the time just to reset Donnie’s “who have I talked with last” bias. I Fucking hate how pathetic this administration is
As a society we (the US( are the absolute worst.
We are collectively on 3rd base compared to so many nations and we just screw the pooch because Fox News told us to do so.
Here is Trump’s proposal, verbatim:

Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed.

-
It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand further.

-
The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will be launched under the supervision of the IAEA, and the electricity produced will be distributed equally between Russia and Ukraine — 50:50.
-
Both countries undertake to implement educational programs in schools and society aimed at promoting understanding and tolerance of different cultures and eliminating racism and prejudice:
- Ukraine will adopt EU rules on religious tolerance and the protection of linguistic minorities.

-
This agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be monitored and guaranteed by the Peace Council, headed by President Donald J. Trump. Sanctions will be imposed for violations.
-
Once all parties agree to this memorandum, the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points to begin implementation of the agreement.
- definitely deserves emphasis as well, it means Russians will get away with all the atrocities they have committed even though many deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
Wow. I see now why experts are saying that was written by Russia, at least in part. Especially the parts clearly steered by Russian propaganda like the Nazi thing. Also 50% to the US? That’s really, really stupid.
The Nazi thing isn’t Russian propaganda though? Of course Putin doesn’t stop spouting that as one of his reasons for the invasion, or maybe even blowing it out of proportion, but Ukraine does in fact have a Neo-Nazi problem. Haven’t you seen the Bandera worship that goes on in there, or the Azov fascists? Ignoring it outright as Russia propaganda will be detrimental for post-war reconstruction, especially as inaction might just lead to the Neo-Nazis taking power.
you are spouting Russian propaganda, which is blowing things out of proportion.
Just because Azov exists doesn’t equate to a “neo-nazi problem.”
Russia and the US have a greater fascist problem than Ukraine.
That assumes Azov is a run-of-the-mill Neo-Nazi group while they are much more. The white führer — that’s what Azov’s leader goes by btw — has said that his mission is to, “to spur the white races of the world towards a final crusade…against the Semite-led Untermenschen”.
Before the war you had western media reporting on them in a matter of fact way:
In January 2018, Azov rolled out its street patrol unit called National Druzhyna to “restore” order in the capital, Kyiv. Instead, the unit carried out pogroms against the Roma community and attacked members of the LGBTQ community. — alJazeera
A 2016 report by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OCHA) accused the Azov regiment of violating international humanitarian law. The report detailed incidents over a period from November 2015-February 2016 where Azov had embedded their weapons and forces in used civilian buildings, and displaced residents after looting civilian properties. The report also accused the battalion of raping and torturing detainees in the Donbas region.
The Azov Battalion is emerging as a critical node in the transnational right-wing violent extremist (RWE) network. This group maintains its own ‘Western Outreach Office’ to help recruit and attract foreign fighters that travel to train and connect with people from like-minded violent organizations from across the globe. Operatives from the outreach office travel around Europe to promote the organization and proselytize its mission of white supremacy. In July 2018, German-language fliers were distributed among the visitors at a right-wing rock festival in Thuringia, inviting them to be part of the Azov battalion: ‘join the ranks of the best’ to ‘save Europe from extinction.’ It has also established youth camps, sporting recreation centers, lecture halls, and far-right education programs, including some that teach children as young as 9 years old military tactics and far-right ideology. This aggressive approach to networking serves one of the Azov Battalion’s overarching objectives to transform areas under its control in Ukraine into the primary hub for transnational white supremacy. — Soufan Center
We are concerned about rising nationalism in Ukraine and the government’s seeming unwillingness to rein it in. Ukraine’s international donors and supporters should be very worried,” — Tanya Cooper, Ukraine researcher for Human Rights Watch.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry and its embassy in Kiev have in fact issued multiple statements denouncing the veneration of such figures. In January 2022, the diplomatic mission described that year’s annual “Torch March” commemorating Bandera’s birthday as “desecrating the memory of the victims of the Holocaust in Ukraine.” Far-right extremist groups in Ukraine have also gained political currency in the past decade, none more chilling than Svoboda (formerly the Social National Party of Ukraine), whose leader claimed the country was controlled by a “Muscovite-Jewish mafia.” Svoboda has sent several members to Ukraine’s Parliament, including one who called the Holocaust a “bright period” in human history, according to Foreign Policy — Times of Israel
No one should be giving Neo-Nazis a pass because they are on the “good side”; which should have been the line that Ukraine took as it already has a horrifying history of anti-semitism. You can support any side you want but sidelining a very real problem because Putin used it as a propaganda point is beyond ridiculous.
So, it’s a grift to extract Ukraine’s resources and have Ukraine pay for it, while letting Russia keep everything it’s stolen.
Typical Trump bullshit.
It’s also a gift to daddy Putin from Trump so he doesn’t govern up his equine fellatio footage and embarrass pedo Antoinette
Fuck Trump. We promised we would protect them.
