Trump Launches Aggressive Push To End Russia-Ukraine War — And Seems To Favor 1 Side
HuffPost
The president is optimistic that he can finally achieve one of his 2024 campaign goals, but the thorniest issues have yet to be resolved.
Desperate to tout a win on the international stage as his poll numbers fall at home, President Donald Trump has mounted an aggressive campaign to finally realize one of his 2024 campaign goals: ending the nearly four-year war in Ukraine — albeit not in 24 hours, as he initially pledged.
Despite projecting optimism that he can push the long-awaited agreement over the finish line, some of the most sensitive questions remain unresolved as his administration continues to send mixed signals about its intentions.
The Trump administration unveiled a 28-point peace plan last week to end the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump set a Thanksgiving deadline for Ukraine to respond, alarming traditional U.S. allies in Europe, including Kyiv itself.
The proposal was reportedly drafted by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Kirill Dmitriev, an envoy for Russian President Vladimir Putin, during meetings in Miami, according to Axios. The result predictably favors Russia, the aggressor that launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, prompting fresh concern that the Trump administration is prepared to throw Ukraine under the bus.
Since then, Kyiv has held talks with U.S. officials seeking to win concessions on some of the most contentious aspects of the proposal.
