Trump's “Plan” assumes the formal recognition of the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia and means de facto acceptance of the presence of Russian troops in the part of the Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporoski districts. He also calls for a permanent ban on Ukraine's accession to NATO.
In return, Ukraine regains scraps of occupied territory and receives vague European security guarantees – without any commitment on the part of America. As a result, it rewards Putin's aggression, at the same time ignoring the sovereignty of Ukraine. More importantly, the acceptance of this “contract” would undermine the post -war international order, whose architecture It is based on a fundamental principle – borders cannot be changed by force. Signaling something different, would confirm the imperialists around the world in the belief that “strength gives the law.”
Climbing your eyes to a Russian revenge will certainly encourage other dictators to follow in Russia – the security of countries such as Taiwan or the Baltic States would therefore become much more uncertain.
Trump's ill -considered initiative undermines the credibility of NATO, the European Union and Canada. Negotiated behind closed doors, excluding the key allies of Ukraine and bypassing multilateral frames, which Canadians have long been in favor of, is a dangerous precedent in which Global stability is sold in the name of ad hoc political goals.

For Canada, this is not a distant geopolitical game. It is home to over 1.4 million Canadians of Ukrainian origin – the largest Ukrainian diaspora outside Eastern Europe. Russia's genocidal war against Ukraine and Ukrainians torn families, left the communities in ruins and mourning, and forced millions of Ukrainians to leave their homes. If President Trump decides to mutilate Ukraine, even more people will come to Europe or are looking for asylum in North America.
Trailer of the eternal war
The world in which democracies give way to buses is not a world safer for Canadians, Americans or Europeans. It becomes a more dangerous, unstable and unpredictable place. If the principle of sovereignty has any meaning, It must be used when it is most at risk – And not only when it is comfortable.
Ukrainians did not ask for mercy. They asked for solidarity. They didn't give up. And they won't do it. Any settlement imposed on them, which devotes their future and sanctions the illegal occupation of almost 20 percent. Their country is not a recipe for peace – it is a surrender, sowing grain of distrust, injuries, revenge and future conflicts. Ukraine will be sentenced to an eternal war.
Canada and our friends in the United States must clearly and publicly reject the policy of concessions. Together, we must confirm our unwavering involvement in favor of political sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, pressing on a real diplomacy based on law and ensure that no “peace plan” will reward the fascist aggressor.
The West still has moral authority, diplomatic credibility and responsibility to lead in this matter. It is not just the struggle of Ukraine. This is our fight. Permission to the dictators of our time to erase the boundaries It does not promise a fair, true or lasting peace, but only heralds the arrival of eternal war.
