Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he expects to discuss the plan – which was reportedly drafted by Russian and US officials – with Trump

Donald Trump’s latest plan for ending the war in Ukraine would see territory ceded to Russia, Russia readmitted to the G8 and Ukraine banned from joining Nato, according to drafts of the proposal seen by Axios, AFP and the Associated Press.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he expected to discuss the plan with Trump “in coming days,” adding any deal must bring a “dignified peace” with “respect for our independence, our sovereignty.”

The cautious response from Ukraine’s presidential administration stood in contrast to the outrage at the plan from some Ukrainian officials who called it “absurd” “capitulation” and the effective end of its existence as an independent country

The plan appears to repeat Moscow’s maximalist demands and violate numerous Ukrainian red lines and would require an about-turn from Zelenskyy, who has said giving up territory would be unacceptable. It would also probably be deemed unacceptable by Ukraine’s European allies, who have long insisted that they should be given a role in the peace talks given the broader implications of the settlement for the continent’s security, particularly on Nato’s eastern flank.

Unless I am really mistaken, it does not look like Ukraine was involved in so-called "Trump Peace Plan"!!

The plan was reportedly drafted by Russian and US officials, including the influential head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, Kirill Dmitriev, who has been involved in previous talks on Ukraine and is known to be in touch with the US special envoy Steve Witkoff.

1. The world must step up to the plate and help Ukraine.

Europe especially must do what they can to stop Putin or they will be speaking Russian before this is all over.

[yellow dahlia]

28. I second that emotion.

[llmart]

2. I have such tremendous respect for this man.

He has been an amazing leader for his people and doesn't ask anything of his fellow countrymen that he wouldn't do or sacrifice himself. Yes, Europe needs to step up more to help him defeat Putin.

[ananda]

3. ananda's astute political prediction

This plan is going nowhere.

[ck4829]

4. That is an absurd plan

[Puppyjive]

5. Why does Putin keep winning?

Trump is a traitor. He needs to be impeached now. They will find the connection. It's just a matter of time.

[Demsrule86]

24. Putin is not winning...he is desperate...hopes Trump will save him...

Some if not all of the oligarchs have disappeared as in left the country. The economy is on life support...a generation of young people are dead in the war. Starvation is imminent.

For example, Ukraine recently knocked out the electricity to Moscow and beyond using their cheap bombs. Russia has no one to work on infrastructure since all their emphasis for years was on weapons. They ran the lines miles beyond Moscow. So one successful bomb could take down the entire system. And Ukraine sent a drone bomb hit one small area and did just that.

[ancianita]

25. No way Putin's winning. It's only nuke power puffery by the felon & his boss. Zelenskyy always listens, then refuses.

Zelenskyy knows that the world and NATO are on his and Ukraine's side.

[2naSalit]

6. Fuck that shit...

What a sick joke.

[RazorbackExpat]

17. Yes, indeed

Fuck that shit

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Not a peace plan: it's a statement of surrender.

Hope Ukraine and its European allies tell TSF to go to hell.

[Ray Bruns]

8. "Ukraine banned from Nato, Russia readmitted to the G8 and territory ceded: what's in Putin's draft plan"

FIFY

[LymphocyteLover]

9. this evil Russian puppet administration can go to hell with this non-starter BS

[slightlv]

10. No fracking way..

Surrender Ukraine? Not gonna happen. I don't care how many towers putin has promised to rump.

[OldBaldy1701E]

11. If I were Zelenskyy, there would be absolutely no way I would agree to a ban from NATO!

I mean, I would not agree to anything that Putin and The Orange Gibbon had concocted, and I would never consider anything that they offered from now on.

But, that's just me.

[Martin Eden]

12. "Peace" plan drafted by Putin, and Putin's Orange Asset, without Ukraine's participation?

This is nothing less than US collusion with Russia to reward Russia for its illegal invasion, and to spit on the grave of every Ukrainian soldier who died defending their country.

[LPBBEAR]

13. If infectious boil pus could assume human form....

it would look like Trump.

[Aviation Pro]

14. Zelenskyy's reply

"How about go fuck yourself? Will you take go fuck yourself, you fat, fucking pedophile?"

[angrychair]

15. How is it for the US to Decide Anything?

The EU has given far more money than that US has given at this point (EU: $200 billion vs US:$130 billion)

The US gets to unilaterally decide who gets to join NATO?

The US gets to unilaterally decide who gets to be in the G8?

The arrogance is stunning and unbecoming of our nation. We are acting more as a bully than a friend and ally.

[twodogsbarking]

16. Trump is so good at losing he has become a consultant.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

18. TrumPutin is tag teaming against Ukraine.

Bank on it, if Ukraine accepts this death proposal, Russia will have public executions of Ukrainian citizens.and military personnel. Is that what America wants to see?

[electric_blue68]

19. NO to Dumphf, and Putin! Stay strong, President Zelenskyy!

[Martin68]

20. Trump's "plan" is DOA.

[FakeNoose]

21. Yes! If he tries this, I think even the MAGAs will want him out

Despite Chump's crazy love affair with Putin, I can't see that the rest of the Repukes are feeling the same way. The days of indulging Chump are just about over.

[Happy Hoosier]

22. He gives Russia everything they want.

It's not a peace deal, it's a surrender.

[blue-wave]

23. This is nothing but a reward for Russia

For starting wars, committing genocide and terrorizing whole populations. This cannot stand.

[Borogove]

26. This "peace plan" needs to be quickly rejected and Europe needs to pick up its material and financial support.

At least until sanity returns to this country.

[sleroy49]

27. Saying Russian officials and Trump ...

is a bit redundant.
