Context
This week, Western media reported that the administration of US President Donald Trump, together with the Russian Federation, has prepared a plan to end the Russian-Ukrainian war. Published media insiders indicate that the document may actually mean the surrender of Ukraine, and European politicians also point to this.
Media sources claim that, according to the document, the United States may recognize the occupied Donbass and Crimea as Russian, Ukraine will be required to reduce the size of its army by half, sanctions will be lifted from Russia and the investigation of its war crimes in Ukraine will be stopped.
According to media reports, Trump has already approved this project. Axios published the full text of the 28-point agreement.
Sky News reported on November 21 that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will discuss a “peace plan” with Trump next week.
On the same day, Zelensky discussed the “peace plan” with US Vice President J.D. Vance. The Ukrainian president must sign the document by November 27, Trump said.
In a video message, Zelensky said that now is “one of the most difficult moments” in Ukrainian history. He noted that Ukraine may face “a very difficult choice.” “Or loss of dignity or the risk of losing a key partner. Or complex 28 points [“мирного плана”]or an extremely difficult winter,” Zelensky emphasized. The President added that in Kyiv “they will do everything to ensure that the end of the war occurs” and “the end of Ukraine does not take place.” Answering a media question about Zelensky’s statements, Trump noted that the President of Ukraine will have to accept a “peace plan.”
