US President Trump promotes peace in Ukraine with 28-point plan. In fact, the document contains only Russian handwriting. In Miosga, Major expert warns of “peace plan”
An evening discussion with Caren Miosga regarding ARD yielded three brutal findings: First, the war in Ukraine cannot be ended because Russia wants to continue this war. For Russia, a war of attrition appears likely to be successful in the long run.
Second, the 28-point peace plan presented in the middle of last week, which weakens Ukraine in many ways, must be discussed with America despite many objections so that America sticks to the plan to fundamentally protect Europe.
And thirdly, this 28-point plan, allegedly developed by US President Donald Trump, threatens the security of all of Europe. This means that if this possible plan by Russia comes true, it will bring more horror than good to the world.
Warning from Miosga regarding ARD: “Ukraine is unilaterally restricted”
Claudia Major made the clearest announcement of the Miosga round. “This plan would de facto ban Ukraine,” explained Vice President of the Transatlantic Security Initiative at the German Marshall Fund. As the invading country, Russia would only benefit from this. While Russia will be allowed to deploy as many as 1.5 million troops, Ukraine’s army will be “unilaterally limited to 600,000 men.”
The political scientist believes that Donald Trump definitely has a desire to “stop people dying” and that it would be easier to put pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In contrast, Russian President Vladimir Putin has resisted pressure and has not “changed” his position. Apparently, Donald Trump is pursuing two strategies: on the one hand, he increases pressure on Zelensky, and on the other, he wants to normalize America’s relations with Russia.
“That would mean declaring NATO bankrupt.”
The 28-point plan just negotiated in Geneva includes only benefits for Russia. Therefore, war reporter and deputy editor-in-chief of the Bild newspaper Paul Ronzheimer suspected that the plan was “developed mainly in Russia”. The details include the demands Russia has always wanted. “We have to assume that the plan came from Russia,” Ronzheimer said.
Certain points in the plan sometimes seem strange or presumptuous in relation to the sovereignty of the countries of the world. It says that Russia must be reintegrated into the global economy. Or: Donzek and Luhansk were placed under Russian sovereignty, even though Russia had not yet conquered either region. The plan also calls for a full amnesty for those involved in the war and vaguely states: “Russia is not expected to attack its neighboring countries.”
It was also stated that Ukraine should not be allowed to join NATO. “Russia is demanding that the 32 NATO members not be allowed to accept Ukraine,” explains political scientist Major. “In this way, Russia can limit the principle of sovereignty of other countries. If Russia can decide that, then they will declare NATO bankrupt.”
After Ukraine, this could impact other countries
“The plan claims that Russia controls Ukraine, NATO and Europe,” explains political scientist Major. “In addition, two nuclear states are telling Ukraine that war can be used to push boundaries.” The plan also helps Russia do what it “could not do militarily.”
Claudia Major stated: “This plan led to a lull in the fighting, allowing Russia to regenerate its armed forces.” This scenario would also have a major impact on the security of all of Europe. A limited and weak Ukraine could be invaded again at any time by a strengthened Russia. Russia then sensed it and attacked other European countries.
The peace plan looks different
This peace plan consisting of 28 points is the basis for starting discussions. The actual peace plan looks different. As a reminder: Peace plans are usually some kind of compromise between two parties and ensure peace in the long term. But Donald Trump put forward Russia’s maximum demands and also raised points that were difficult for him and Putin to decide on. This includes membership in NATO or the resumption of economic ties with Russia.
Even a general amnesty for Russian war crimes cannot be dictated from above. It would make more sense if we agreed on a ceasefire first so that we could hold peace negotiations for a while. The 28-point plan would be a kind of capitulation of the international community to Russia’s war crimes and would make the world as a whole less safe. The law is that whoever is strongest will win.
