Trump’s Ukraine peace plan divides Europe amid war’s mounting toll
A recent peace proposal for Ukraine, put forward by Donald Trump’s administration, has sparked fierce debate. Critics argue the plan risks repeating historical mistakes, while supporters claim it offers a realistic path to stability. The discussions come as Ukraine continues to face heavy losses in its conflict with Russia.
Under the U.S. proposal, Ukraine would retain about 80% of its pre-2014 territory, with Russia controlling the remaining 20%. The country would then join the European Union—a move directly opposing Russia’s original war goal of blocking Ukraine’s EU integration. The plan also envisions Ukraine maintaining a 600,000-strong military, the largest in Europe.
The proposed peace deal would leave Ukraine with a powerful military and EU membership, despite losing some land. Supporters see it as a way to end the bloodshed, while opponents warn it could embolden Russia further. The debate now centres on whether negotiation or continued resistance offers the best path forward for Ukraine’s future.
