Trump's Peace Deal For Ukraine Is Drawing 2 Deeply Worrying Comparisons

Donald Trump has unveiled a 28-point peace plan recently.Donald Trump’s 28-point peace plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine has attracted some brutal comparisons to past diplomatic failures.The US president, desperate to end the conflict, has come up with a strategy which would see Ukraine cede yet more territory to Russia, cap the size of its military and give up any ambitions to join Nato – all in the name of peace.These terms are all highly favourable to Russia, which already controls a fifth of Ukrainian land, and would involve major capitulation from Kyiv.The most senior Democrat on the US Congress’ intelligence committee, senator Mark Warner, said the proposals would go down “as a historically bad deal, rivaling Neville Chamberlain giving in to Hitler before World War II”.Former UK prime minister Chamberlain championed the Munich Agreement in 1938, allowing Nazi Germany to annex the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia in a bid to avoid a wider war.While Chamberlain said this deal meant “peace for our time”, it’s now remembered for being a precursor to World War 2, as Hitler occupied the rest of Czechoslovakia the following year.Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Warner also said he feared Trump’s deal paved the way for other authoritarian leaders to engage in bloody land grabs – like China’s Xi Jinping, who could invade Taiwan.The Democrat said: “Clearly this plan was at least initially laid out as simply Russian input and no Ukrainian input.“Now they’re saying there has been Ukrainian input. Now the president is changing his mind again about whether this is a final offer or not.“At the end of the day, we all want to see peace, but we don’t want to see a peace that rewards Vladimir Putin.”Meanwhile, the BBC’s world affairs editor John Simpson compared Trump’s proposals to the botched 2021 plan to withdraw western troops from Afghanistan – leaving the country open to a Taliban takeover.“First Donald Trump, then Joe Biden using the terms of the Trump ‘deal’, sold out Afghanistan to the Taliban,” Simpson wrote on X.“Most European govts [sic] think Trump is now selling out Ukraine in the same way – trading major concessions for a belief in Putin’s promises, and not caring very much anyway.”The prime minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, also raised questions about the plan, saying that it was important “to know for sure who is the author of the plan and where was it created”.His remarks come amid fears Russia has been too influential in creating the peace proposals – a claim the US denies.Ukraine’s allies in Europe have since rallied to try to alter Trump’s deal so it is more in Kyiv’s favour.It comes as a source told POLITICO that these negotiations were “tense” between the US and Ukrainian teams in Geneva.“The American side did not want to deviate from the text of the plan approved by the Russians,” they reportedly said, although the US did eventually acknowledge there were “unacceptable” elements to the plan.Prime minister Keir Starmer told reporters that the talks are “ongoing” in Geneva, and that “progress is being made”.He insisted a peace has to be “just and lasting” with Ukraine’s input.Starmer said he would be hosting a talk between the 33 countries who have signed up to the pro-Ukraine “Coalition of the Willing” on Monday.Downing Street also confirmed the PM had spoken to Trump on the phone on Sunday.“The leaders discussed various aspects of the high level discussions taking place in Geneva today on the US peace plan for Ukraine,” No.10′s readout said.“They agreed that we all must work together at this critical moment to bring about a just and lasting peace.”Related...Trump White House Hit With Highly Embarrassing Community Note: ‘However…’Putin Making A Mockery Of Trump's Peace Plan As Ukraine Attack Kills 4 People'Zero Gratitude!'
