This is 100% accurate, and in line with what was to be expected; The problems posed for all Europeans are however enormous, and the steps taken to solve them much too timid so far.

Trump playing the Putin game of delay tactics fir a peace negotiations just means more Ukrainian civilian deaths and destruction of cities, infrastructure .

As Russia continues its slaughter and genocide.

Better than Trump’s surrender plan:

Substack - Ukraine/Russia conflict – Peace CompromiseFramework

Issues:

1. Russia invaded Ukraine due to risk of having NATO on their border

2. Russia wanted Navy bases in Crimea

3. Russia invaded Ukraine after they cut off Crimeafresh water from Ukraine

4. Russia was supporting separatists in border Oblasts

5. Ukraine wants sovereignty over all its territory and peace

Framework:

1) Complete demilitarization of all Ukraine including occupied regions & Crimea

2) Russia military leaves all of Ukraine including Crimea(except leased bases)

3) Russia & Ukraine agree on leasing bases in Crimea

4) Russia has reasonable transit to their leased bases.

5) Ukraine dismantles their military entirely & has no military, only police forces

6) Russia has no governmental control or military support of occupied regions

7) Ukraine has sovereignty over all of Ukraine including border Oblasts & Crimea

8) Russia allowed non-military commercial activities following Ukraine law

9) Russians must follow reasonable visa access requirements

10) NATO, US and Russia provide military defense guarantees of UkraineΒ 

11) A Ukraine/Russia dispute resolution council is established

Results:

1) Allows a secession of fighting

2) Creates an environment for rebuilding Ukraine

3) Russia saves face, Russia has Crimea bases they need.Β 

4) It’s not perfect but the compromise would enable moving forward

Complete nonsense from a total suckup. Have you no shame little Marco? Have the Republicans not got one backbone among them?

How can Ukraine trust us at this point? Europe will have to finish this war with Ukraine. I hope they will remove all the restrictions the U.S. placed on Ukraine.
