Experts Warn Trump Plan ‘Invites’ New Russian Invasion Of Ukraine 

 

 

Military analysts have issued an extraordinary warning that Donald Trump’s reported Ukraine peace plan could catastrophically weaken Kyiv and pave the way for a fresh Russian offensive. The proposal — a confidential 28-point framework said to be crafted by US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev — would require Ukraine to withdraw from strategically vital, non-occupied areas of Donetsk and Luhansk, slash its armed forces by 50%, and surrender multiple categories of advanced weaponry. 

 

According to a new assessment from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the plan would effectively dismantle Ukraine’s hard-won defensive architecture. Most alarming, it would compel Kyiv to abandon the “Donbas fortress belt” — the chain of cities including Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Kostiantynivka, and Druzhkivka that has anchored Ukraine’s defence since 2014. Russia has spent more than a decade trying, and failing, to breach these lines. Handing them over in a political deal, ISW warns, would give Moscow for free what it could not seize through force.

 

Experts fear the proposed ceasefire lines would simply freeze the conflict in Russia’s favour. Ukraine would be barred from hosting foreign troops, denied long-range weapons, and pressured to accept Russian as an official state language — all while Moscow keeps the initiative. ISW notes that Russian officials have repeatedly signalled that any Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas would be merely a “starting point,” not a guarantee of peace. In other words: major concessions first, renewed aggression later.

 

Freezing the southern front would also give Russia breathing room to rebuild for future pushes toward Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, long-stated Kremlin objectives. Analysts point out that the plan resembles Russia’s 2022 Istanbul demands, made at a time when Moscow enjoyed battlefield momentum — demands now wildly out of step with Ukraine’s later successes, including the liberation of much of Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts.

 

ISW argues the only credible path to durable stability is the opposite of the alleged plan: accelerated Western weapons deliveries, tougher sanctions, and sustained pressure to break Putin’s “theory of victory.”

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Analysts say reported Trump–Russia plan would gut Ukraine’s defences.

• Forced withdrawal from Donbas “fortress belt” would hand Russia key terrain.

• ISW warns plan mirrors Moscow’s 2022 demands and risks enabling a new invasion.

Trump is desperate to please his master, Putin played and keeps playing him like a fiddle, Trump main goal is the Nobel Peace Prize, the double face guy that says one thing and keeps doing the contrary, why he never criticized Putin, why is only argues with Zelensky or the Europeans, at one time he did claimed to be "disappointed" with Putin and that was it, not so long ago he promised long range missiles, couple days later (after speaking with Putin) long range missiles were no longer on the table, he claimed during a press conference that Ukraine would/could win the war and regain all territory back but his actions contradict the statements.

He claimed to have stopped 8 or 9 wars and that's a big lie, Gaza-Israel never stopped and just yesterday Israel killed around 25 Palestinians, Thailand-Cambodia still going, Yemen still going, India-Pakistan still going and same for all the other he keeps mentioning, in Ukraine is trying to make a deal by selling somebody else's country, not his country but an independent self governing country and by doing so he's opening pandora's box
