Donald Trump has signaled he is ready to alter the Ukraine-Russia peace plan after Sir Keir Starmer said America’s peace deal risked leaving the country open to Russian attack.
On Saturday, the US president said his 28-point proposal, under which Ukraine would surrender key territory and cut the size of its army, was “not my final offer”.
President Trump always starts from the furthest point when he is trying to make a deal. However, the Europeans appear unmovable.
“We’d like to get to peace. It should’ve happened a long time ago… We’re trying to get it ended. One way or the other we have to get it ended,” he said.
The European leaders who back up Zelensky say they want peace but their actions prove otherwise. They will only accept full capitulation from Russia, which isn’t going to happen. More will die senselessly as Europe pays little, and the US picks up the tab.
The only alternative that Europeans come up with is this:
Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Finland’s contribution could fill a thimble. It’s Europe’s continent, but they want the US to fund and fight their war. They feel they have us over that proverbial barrel.
President Trump said that if Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, did not accept the plan by the Thursday deadline then he could “continue to fight his little heart out”.
Sir Keir, alongside Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron, the German and French leaders, criticized elements of the plan on Saturday, warning that it would force Ukraine to give up territory by force and leave it defenseless to further aggression.
Sir Keir might not accept any peace plan. They don’t want to give up any territory they lost during the invasion and beyond. Meanwhile, the US is in serious danger within.
The pro-war bloggers are taking over X to promote fighting until Russia pulls out of all Ukraine.
The only nations in Europe that want war are Germany, Britain, and France, the very nations that started both world wars. The Baltic states and Finland want war but they are not a factor. I can look at the map to see that all nations bordering Ukraine do not want war. Neither does Italy. And the Black Sea is impassable… Read more »
Yes, important distinction.
Of course they will but it has to be one that does not reward this barbaric aggression and strip sovereignty from the victim. Alas Putin cannot afford such a temporary peace plan from the start. Regardless any treaty he signs he will break in the future with a new narrative/lies/pretexts or maybe the same ones as this time and to… Read more »
Nonsense, the greatest violations of the existing agreements has been by Ukraine, with its repeated violations of neutrality. And, the US violations of neutrality, by running a coup and setting up political operations in Ukraine, including biolabs.
Your inversion of reality has failed.
NATO encroached on Russia and Russia responded. FAFO. NATO and the Ukraine shelling the Donbas which, according to Minsk 1&2 agreements signed by the Ukraine, were supposed to have autonomy. As for breaking the peace, Russia gets sanctions removed and a joint envestment with the US in the Arctic. Remember the proposed tunnel under the Bering Straight that would create… Read more »
