un plan de paix de Trump qui accorde des territoires du Donbass à la Russie – Le Jeune Indépendant

Ukraine says it has received a “draft plan” from the United States to end the war with Russia. This plan was carried out on the sly by the Americans, without involving the Europeans. Among the 28 measures it contains, it is notably planned that Kyiv cedes to Moscow the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in the east of the country, but also that Russia rejoins the G8.

According to the Reuters agency, Kyiv is under intense pressure to comply with the measures imposed by the text concocted by the Americans. The United States is giving him until Thursday to accept the agreement, before reducing arms deliveries and intelligence sharing.

This Friday, Volodymyr Zelensky, Emmanuel Macron, Friedrich Merz and Keir Starmer discussed this plan, which provides for strong concessions to be made to Russia, and affirmed their desire to “preserve vital European and Ukrainian interests in the long term”.

“Today is one of the most difficult days in our history. » This Friday, November 21, Volodymyr Zelensky spoke after the presentation of a new American “peace plan”, as described by Donald Trump, to end the war in Ukraine which has lasted since February 2022.

President Donald Trump gave Zelensky until next Thursday to agree to the plan. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the plan, which has not been discussed with Moscow, could build a basis for resolving the conflict.

The document – ​​which the United States claims it can further develop – takes up the main maximalist demands formulated by Russia since spring 2022.

If these were accepted by kyiv, they would amount to a pure and simple capitulation of a sovereign country.

Beyond the points concerning Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO, the reduction in the size of its army – limited to 600,000 soldiers – and the de facto recognition, at the international level, of illegally occupied territories as being Russian, the plan provides for several measures linked to the integration of Russia into the world economy – notably its return to the G7 table, which would then become the G8 again – as well as an amnesty for Vladimir Putin, targeted since 2023 by an international arrest warrant for war crimes.

Under the plan, Ukraine would receive security guarantees — without NATO troops on its soil but without much more detail — and the United States would be compensated in return.

Europe, which did not participate in the development of this plan – even though it limits the marginal role that the Union should play in this peace by welcoming Ukraine into its market – would find itself assuming a large part of the cost: frozen Russian assets, mainly held in European countries, would be used mainly by the United States (100 billion dollars used to finance their reconstruction and investment efforts in Ukraine, with Washington recovering 50% of these profits).

The rest of the funds would be placed in a Russian-American investment vehicle, while Europe would “add” an additional $100 billion.

The implementation of this plan should be ensured by a Peace Council, under the supervision of Donald Trump.
