Trump's Plan to End Ukraine War Faces Criticism and Opposition

Donald Trump's advisers have presented a plan to end the Ukraine war if he is reelected, which involves pressuring Ukraine to enter peace talks by threatening to cut off U.S. military aid and warning Russia of increased support to Ukraine if they refuse to negotiate. The plan, drawn up by Fred Fleitz and retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, suggests a ceasefire based on current battle lines and delaying Ukraine's NATO membership as incentives for Russia. Experts criticize the plan as unlikely to satisfy either Kyiv or Moscow and potentially rewarding Russian aggression. The strategy, while favorably received by Trump, faces opposition from European allies and within the Republican Party. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that any peace plan must reflect the on-ground realities, while Ukrainian officials deem freezing the conflict at current lines as unacceptable.
