Opinion | The Terrifying Prospect of Trump's Peace Plan for Ukraine
Briefly

The Trump administration's recent proposal to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict has been labeled as a final offer, heavily favoring Moscow while blindsiding Ukraine and European allies. Notably, it proposes freezing current territorial lines, preventing Ukraine from NATO membership, and lifting sanctions imposed on Russia since the 2014 Crimean annexation. This plan includes recognizing Russian control over Crimea, contradicting a long-standing bipartisan U.S. policy against alterations to borders by force, which has prevailed since the 1940s. Ukraine has firmly rejected the proposal as it threatens to set a dangerous precedent in international law and relations.

Ukraine has outright rejected the proposal that seeks to formalize Russian control over Crimea, reversing decades of bipartisan U.S. policy against forced territorial changes.
