[Trump 28-Point Peace Plan] Yesterday the Trump Administration in conjunction with Russia constructed a 28-Point Peace Plan that many consider residing in the favor of America and Russia. While American President Donald Trump is urging Ukraine to accept and finalize the deal between themselves a Russia by Thanksgiving, former President Volodymyr Zelensky seems to have some reservation about the 28-Point Peace Plan which as drafted by American Envoy Steve Witkoff, Russian Envoy Kirill Dmitriev, Jared Kushner, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. It was reported that the 28-Point Peace Plan was presented to Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev by U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
Volodymyr Zelensky expressed:
“The American side presented points of a plan to end the war – their vision. I outlined our key principles. We agreed that our teams will work on the points to ensure it’s all genuine. From the first days of the war, we have upheld one very simple position: Ukraine needs peace. A real peace – one that will not be broken by a third invasion. A dignified peace – with terms that respect our independence, our sovereignty and the dignity of the Ukrainian people.”
The Trump Administration stated that the Ukrainians see many parts of the 28-Point Peace Plan as viable, there are skeptics within the international community that are taking the position that regardless of if a deal was reached or not, the fighting between the two nations would continue. It is also predicted by geopolitical analysts that European nations such as Germany, both the E.U. and U.K. as well as Poland will find a way to torpedo any progress related to the plan. Geopolitical analysts are also questioning how America would be compensated for brokering the deal (points 10 and 14)
Within the 28-point plan, it was written that Ukraine must hold an election within the first 100 days of the ceasefire and that both parties would receive amnesty for any potential war crimes committed. Another point within the plan was that all sanctions placed on Russia be lifted and that a portion of Russia’s $300 billion in stolen (frozen) assets would go to the reconstruction of Ukraine.

OUR POSITION AT VEDA WORLD NEWS
For the Trump Administration's 28-Point Peace Plan to be successful, Ukraine would have to not only revert back to being a buffer zone, but it would have to demonstrate through actions that it will not join NATO. Also, Ukraine would have to also combat the Neo-Nazism within its borders as well as be willing to give up nearly all its eastern borders to Russia as a sort of guarantee. Such portions should include Kharkiv, Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk Oblast, Dnipro River, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava which translates to roughly 20% of eastern Ukraine succeeding to Russian control to serve as a buffer zone.
Ukraine would also have to reduce its Armed Forces from 600,000 at least 250,000, the Russian language must be allowed to be spoken in Ukraine amongst native Russian speakers, and Russians residing in Ukraine must be allowed to practice their religion of choice. Lastly, we predict that Volodymyr Zelensky will have to go and a new Ukrainian President will have to be elected. To understand our position as to why Volodymyr Zelensky will have to go, we urge you to read our article entitled: “UKRAINE, AMERICA, U.K. TO OVERTHROW ZELENSKYY”.
