Initially there was something called “peace plan” arranged in substance a Fly and signed by Washington’s “sheriff.” The combined 28 points, which as a whole can only produce a certain amount of disappointment and disgust, but are a collection of dances and turns that divert attention and create confusion, underscore Trump’s authentic direction since his inauguration marked by attacks on Zelensky in the Oval Office and from the surrender ceremony to Putin in Anchorage. However, despite mid-air pincer maneuvers to divide Ukraine’s spoils, liquidate Zelensky, weaken and destabilize Europe, The operation was managed with methods and timing that were highly calculated to place the Ukrainian people and their allies in a position of maximum difficulty that was difficult to predict.
After “fruitful” talks in which Putin had re-engaged Trump and dropped his previous overtures regarding Tomahawak missiles to Ukraine, on October 20 a phone call went “badly”, complete with the cancellation of the 2017 summit. Budapest, between Lavrov and Rubio who disagree with Moscow’s claims of recognition even over unconquered territories Donbass.
Therefore, to completely circumvent the initial roadmap that, according to the State Department, envisaged a frontline ceasefire as a prerequisite for the negotiating table, following Russia’s input, after Gaza, the roadmap was relaunched. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s real estate developer and all-rounder friend, who now masters parallel diplomacy as well as the ideal interlocutor of Putin’s adviser, Kirill Dmitriev, who holds the “peace” plan drawn up by Lavrov in the hands of Witkoff, according to US diplomatic sources.
In essence, in order to exert blackmail pressure on Zelensky, who is in deep trouble due to serious corruption allegations against two deputy ministers and people close to him, and to catch the European public unprepared, the institutional level and the Minister of Foreign Affairs himself were completely bypassed. Marco Rubio. The one who has to stay secret plan in order to concern only Europeans and Ukrainians, this plan was published in the media as a “peace plan”. In this way, Witkoff’s casual activism presenting the plan as a known gift to Moscow and as a complete threat with a deadline so close to Kiev’s, creates not only a dangerous deviation from the institutional path but also an acceleration that benefits the clearly advantaged country and its interests. propaganda machine.
If, as it seems (requirements are a must), there are obstacles, however limited, blocking Trump’s path to Putin’s dream plan, this is also a “blessing” of unscrupulous management. supported the tsar which has created deep division and discontent. The intolerance that emerged within the US State Department as the removal of generals was phased in has been viewed with disapproval Keith Kellogg, officially the envoy to Ukraine, is disliked by the Kremlin for not being hostile towards Kiev, as in the Republican party which is partly sensitive to the reasons for the country being attacked and also in the segment of Trumpian voters who do not want to participate in another war but also supports Putin.
The 28 points of the original “peace plan” could be a “good compromise” just for Putin and his admirers, but above all, according to Italian, they are not a compromise or “agreement reached by mutual consent”: they simply contain a huge one-sided sacrifice and imposition on the attacked party. In fact, in summary, after the declaration that “the sovereignty of Ukraine will be affirmed” they denied it or strictly conditioned it: from the reduction of the armed forces to the introduction of exceptions in the Constitution. Born; ranging from a ban on European interposition forces to guarantees of general security (in the annex); starting from de facto recognition of the annexed territories through referendums, under machine guns, to withdrawal from these territories. Finished now controlled by Ukraine until a vote is held within 100 days; from amnesty for all war crimes to full restoration of Russia in all international forums.
And even more unimaginable but functional criminal logic Putin, there are predictions of a ceasefire, which Pope Leo still asked in vain, only after the withdrawal of “both sides” namely Ukraine from the territories it still controls in the Donbass.
Then from Geneva in what Marco Rubio defined as “the most significant meeting so far”, Europe tried alongside America and Ukraine to reduce the pro-Putin imbalance in the Witkoff-Dimitriev pact, and correct it by supporting Ukraine. two basic points namely the limitation of armed forces and a ceasefire on the current lines of conflict with the request for appropriate security guarantees. Finally, based on the European amendments, a new draft was drawn up, negotiated directly between the US and Ukraine on an equal basis, defined as a framework document covering “national security interests for Ukraine”: important decisions regarding borders and binding decisions on NATO, Russia and the United States are postponed until talks between Trump and Zelensky. For now it can be acknowledged that there were initial attempts by the Americans to force an uneven peaceful surrender not fair by European intervention to “mitigate the damage”.
As for Moscow, if it has branded the European proposal as “unconstructive”, according NYPost, intends to reject the US-Ukraine 19 points and at least prolong the war until the end of the year. For our local pacifists, this is clearly caused by “European sabotage”.
