According to The Washington Post, former US President Donald Trump has proposed a plan to resolve the Ukraine war by returning territory to Russia. Some foreign policy experts argue that this move could be seen as a victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin and could legitimize the use of military force to redraw international borders.
Trump’s Plan
Trump’s plan involves persuading Ukraine to cede some of its territory to Russia in order to bring an end to the conflict. Trump has claimed that if he were to return to office, he could resolve the war within weeks.
The Washington Post reports that anonymous sources who have spoken to Trump or his advisors revealed that his objective is to pressure Ukraine into giving up Crimea and the border regions of Donbas to Russia. This proposal comes after Ukrainian leaders consistently rejected any territorial concessions during the conflict.
