EXPLAINED: Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan a Gift for Putin? Kyiv Warns U.S Is Handing Moscow a Victory

A political firestorm is erupting as Donald Trump unveils a controversial 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine — a plan critics say hands Vladimir Putin everything he wants while leaving Ukraine weakened, exposed, and stripped of key defenses. Human rights expert Kenneth Roth wa s that the proposal compromises Ukraine’s sovereignty, forces territorial surrender, slashes Ukraine’s military strength, offers skewed election demands, and even hints at amnesty for Russian war crimes. With limits placed on Ukraine but not on Russia, the plan is being called a strategic victory for the Kremlin and a direct threat to Ukraine’s democracy and long-term security.
