Episode 530: The Ukraine Peace Plan — Ce...

National Security Institute
About this episode

Today, Jess, Jamil, Les, and Morgan break down the Trump Administration’s new  28-point peace plan for Ukraine — a proposal that would cap Ukraine’s military size, cede territory to Russia, redirect frozen Russian assets toward reconstruction, and ban future NATO membership. Moscow’s envoy praised the plan, Kyiv says it plans on discussing it with the White House, and European allies and some Congressional members express alarm over the  terms.


Is this the beginning of the end of the war, or a diplomatic dead end? What does the proposal signal about the White House’s larger Ukraine-Russia strategy? Does this proposal reward Russian aggression and risk legitimizing invasion as a negotiating tool?
