Part 3/8:
In a surprising twist, Trump has positioned himself as a potential mediator, citing his relationships with both Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. While he has yet to articulate a detailed peace plan, insights from his team reveal that the core of his vision includes establishing a ceasefire and creating a demilitarized zone reminiscent of the Korean Peninsula's division.
This proposed zone would effectively crystallize the current territorial status, with Ukraine potentially losing nearly 20% of its territory, including Crimea. Critical to this plan is the involvement of European peacekeepers, suggesting a long-term international commitment to maintain the peace. Notably, Trump’s proposal insists on Ukraine’s neutrality, which would likely hinder its NATO and EU aspirations.
