Ukrainian president says plan would not be fair without guarantees that Russia would not simply take over zone
The US wants Ukraine to withdraw its troops from the Donbas region, and Washington would then create a “free economic zone” in the parts Kyiv currently controls, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
Previously, the US had suggested Kyiv should hand over the parts of Donbas it still controlled to Russia, but the Ukrainian president said on Thursday that Washington had now suggested a compromise version in which Ukrainian troops would withdraw, but Russian troops would not advance into the territory.
“Who will govern this territory, which they are calling a ‘free economic zone’ or a ‘demilitarised zone’ – they don’t know,” said the Ukrainian president, speaking with journalists in Kyiv on Thursday.
These “peace plans” are deliberately humiliating and dumb. Time to stop inviting the US to the negotiating table.
Problem is that the Great Bozo the Orange keeps showing up and Russia likes him there because they think he’s funny.
I think you’re confused: this is a proxy war between the US/NATO and Russia, using mostly Ukrainian lives. The big boys table involves Trump and Putin, lol, they’re the decision makers here, Zelensky is just a handpicked puppet. 🤷
trump is trying to give putin time to recover, its obvious
And he’ll name it
LuthoriaTrumporia.“Free economic zone” raises my hackles. Is this a technical geopolitical term or is it really just gonna be the Corporation Wars zone?
EDIT: I think I was kind of thinking of “Free trade zones” which this is not. So who knows what they’re talking about.
Isn’t this almost literally the plot of the new Superman movie? A billionaire [not Trump, someone else pulling strings] carves out a portion of a country intentionally made war-torn for their own gain?
Yup. And he wants to do the same in Palestine.
Probably other places too.
Everything’s a grift with this guy.
Russia can’t steal it, if we steal it first!
The 11th Province- Donbas.
