Discover Trump's controversial proposal to end the Ukraine conflict, involving territorial concessions to Russia and the renunciation of NATO membership by Ukraine and Georgia. Learn about the reactions from key stakeholders, including Putin and Zelensky.


Trump’s Controversial Proposal for Ukraine Peace Talks

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed support for former US President Donald Trump's assurances that he wants to end the conflict in Ukraine. According to the Tass agency, Putin considers Trump's intentions 'sincere'. This comes amid reports that Trump, if re-elected in 2024, plans to make a significant offer to Putin regarding Ukraine.

Potential Deal Between Trump and Putin

A report from Politico has revealed that Trump is contemplating offering Russia the occupied territories in Ukraine in exchange for peace, without involving Kyiv in the negotiations. This proposal also includes the renunciation of NATO membership by both Ukraine and Georgia, which Trump believes could pave the way for peace negotiations. This plan has raised significant concerns in Kyiv and among NATO allies.

Anonymous Republican national security experts have indicated that Trump’s strategy involves negotiating with Putin on how much Ukrainian territory Moscow could retain. This would be done with the approval of Washington, which is currently Kyiv's most crucial ally and arms supplier under President Joe Biden. Trump has previously claimed that he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours, a statement that has drawn skepticism from various quarters.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded clarity on Trump's plans. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Zelensky stated, 'If Trump knows how to end this war, he should tell us today. If there are risks to Ukraine's independence, if we lose our statehood - we want to be prepared for that, we want to know that.' Zelensky also expressed his willingness to meet with Trump and his team to discuss their proposals.

There are considerable concerns in Kyiv and within NATO that a Trump victory could lead to a halt in arms deliveries and aid payments to Ukraine. This could significantly impact Ukraine's efforts to defend itself against Russian aggression and its aspirations to join NATO.

  • The 2024 US election, scheduled for November 5, will determine whether Trump or the incumbent President Joe Biden will lead the country. Trump, who served as the 45th President of the USA from 2017 to 2021, is running again for the Republicans.
  • Politico's report suggests that Trump's potential peace deal would not involve decision-makers in Kyiv and Tbilisi, which could lead to significant geopolitical shifts. The renunciation of NATO membership by Ukraine and Georgia would be a major concession to Russia, impacting the security dynamics in Eastern Europe.
  • Zelensky's call for clarity underscores the uncertainty and high stakes surrounding the potential US policy shift. The outcome of the 2024 election could have profound implications for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the broader international order.
