Recent days have seen new details emerge about a supposed peace plan for Ukraine, allegedly put forward by Donald Trump’s team. While reputable media outlets have not confirmed demands such as Ukraine reducing its armed forces by 60% or surrendering certain advanced weaponry, it is clear the proposal includes ceding Ukrainian-controlled territories currently occupied by Russia.
The plan reportedly does not foresee peacekeeping forces or clear security guarantees for Ukraine. The abandonment of NATO ambitions is mentioned only as a temporary step. Ukrainian authorities have already dismissed this initiative, stressing that accepting such conditions would mean defeat for both Ukraine and Europe, and would foster new threats in the future.
The commentary addresses ongoing domestic policy challenges, highlighting the need for governmental reform and rebuilding public trust. Ukrainian society, it is emphasized, is not ready to give up sovereignty or territorial integrity for questionable compromises.
Ukraine and its European partners can strengthen their negotiating position only through internal political consolidation, reform efforts, and a clear international stance. The author maintains that initiatives of this kind will not bring genuine peace until Russian aggression ceases.
