Trump’s Proposal: Deploy European Forces to Establish a Buffer Zone Between Russia and Ukraine
Trump reportedly proposes establishing an 800-mile demilitarized zone between Russia and Ukraine, patrolled by British and European forces. According to this plan, Russia would keep its territorial gains, and Ukraine would agree to refrain from joining NATO for the next 20 years.
Trump's team proposes that the US would supply arms to Ukraine to prevent future Russian threats, while emphasizing that European allies should shoulder the financial and military burden for the buffer zone.
Zelensky, eager to prolong what he sees as a highly beneficial conflict, warns that these concessions would be 'suicidal for Europe.'
