(WND News Center)—The peace plan assembled by President Donald Trump to end the years-long war between Russian and Ukraine, a war that erupted during Joe Biden’s tenure in the White House, has been unveiled.
And it holds similarities to the peace plan Trump used to bring down the violence in the war against Israel that was launched by the terrorists in Hamas two years ago when they invaded the Middle East’s premiere democracy and slaughtered, often in horrific fashion, some 1,200 Israeli civilians, and kidnapped hundreds more.
Among its points are that Ukraine would cede some territory to Russia and be restricted from joining NATO. Russia, on the other hand, also would have to cede some territory it has demanded, and will agree not to invade neighboring countries, promising to adopt a law of “non-aggression.”
Neither combatant has adopted, or ruled out, the plan yet.
It includes statements confirming Ukraine’s sovereignty, a non-aggression agreement, meaning Russian will not invade neighbors further and NATO will not expand to include Ukraine.
Then there will be a “dialogue” between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation.
Other points include that Ukraine will get reliable security guarantees, the Ukrainian armed forces will be capped at 600,000, Ukraine will include in its constitution its decision not to pursue NATO memberships.
Further, NATO will not station troops in Ukraine, but European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland.
Deal-killers would include if Ukraine invades Russia, or if Russia invades Ukraine.
It would allow Ukraine to be part of the European Union, and a “global package of measures” will be used to help rebuild the devastated cities there.
The U.S. will be involved in the rebuilding there where it involves “Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, including pipelines and storage facilities.”
It will allow Russia to be reintegrated into the global economy.
It plans, “$100 billion in frozen Russian assets will be invested in U.S.-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine; The U.S. will receive 50% of the profits from this venture. Europe will add $100 billion to increase the amount of investment available for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen.”
Further, the U.S. and Russia ” agree to extend the validity of treaties on the non-proliferation and control of nuclear weapons, including the START I Treaty.” That is the last major U.S.-Russia arms control treaty and is due to expire in February.
And, “All Nazi ideology and activities must be rejected and prohibited.”
All prisoners will be exchanged, and “Once all parties agree to this memorandum, the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points to begin implementation of the agreement.”
The Hill reported the plan caught Ukraine’s supporters in Congress, “off guard.”
The publication said, “The plan was reportedly worked out by President Trump’s top envoy for peace negotiations, Steve Witkoff, and a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kirill Dmitriev, and discussed with only a few top senior Ukrainian officials.”
It explained, “Some lawmakers were left to learn the details of the 28-point peace plan largely from reporting in Axios, which broke the story, and the Financial Times, which followed up with details of the plan.”
Previously, Ukraine agreed to plans for a ceasefire but rejected demands that it cede any territory whatsoever.
