Trump confirms changes to his peace plan

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, confirmed this Tuesday changes to his peace plan.

“The original 28-point peace plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been refined, with additional input from both sides, and only a few points of disagreement remain”, wrote on Truth Social.

He added that, hoping to finalize the agreement, he has directed his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll to do the same with the Ukrainian side. He also expressed his willingness to meet with Putin and Zelensky, “but only when the agreement to end this war is closed or in its final stages.”

Trump’s plan and the reactions it has generated

Trump’s plan, revealed last week, includes the recognition of Crimea and Donbass as legitimate Russian territory, Kiev’s renunciation of several key categories of weaponry, and guarantees that Ukraine will cede to Russia the entire Donbass region, grant the Russian language the status of a state language and formally recognize the now persecuted canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UPTs). Furthermore, it is considered that Ukraine will not join NATO, the gradual lifting of sanctions imposed on Russia and the holding of presidential elections in Ukraine 100 days after the document comes into force, as well as the reduction in the number of Ukrainian Army personnel. Russian President Vladimir Putin declared this Monday that Washington’s proposals “can serve as a basis for a definitive peace agreement”. In turn, CBS News reported this Tuesday, citing a US official with knowledge of the matter, that the Kiev regime “accepted a US peace deal.” In this context, Zelensky indicated that he wants to meet with Trump to discuss “sensitive things” of the plan.
