Over the past week, my team has made tremendous progress with respect to ending the War between Russia and Ukraine (A War that would have NEVER started if I were President!). Last month 25,000 soldiers died.

The original 28-Point Peace Plan, which was drafted by the United States, has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides, and there are only a few remaining points of disagreement. In the hopes of finalizing this Peace Plan, I have directed my Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to meet with President Putin in Moscow and, at the same time, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll will be meeting with the Ukrainians. I will be briefed on all progress made, along with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. I look forward to hopefully meeting with President Zelenskyy and President Putin soon, but ONLY when the deal to end this War is FINAL or, in its final stages. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter, and let’s all hope that PEACE can be accomplished AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

U.S.-Russian Peace Plan Would Force Ukraine to Cede Land and Cut Army

(November 19, 2025)

A plan to end the war in Ukraine, negotiated between the Trump administration and Russia, would require Kyiv to surrender territory, significantly reduce the size of its army and relinquish some types of weaponry, according to officials familiar with the proposal.

The 28-point proposal, drafted without Ukrainian involvement, reflects the maximalist demands the Kremlin has made throughout the war, which Ukraine has long denounced as amounting to capitulation.

Der ukrainische Korruptionsskandal als Inszenierung – Selenskyj soll stürzen

Dass die Korruptionsvorwürfe jetzt erhoben werden, deutet auf ein fein abgestimmtes Timing. Der Druck auf Selenskyj soll erhöht werden.

Inzwischen tauchen Gerüchte auf, dass Selenskyj territorialen Abtretungen an Russland unter der Bedingung zugestimmt haben soll, dass ihm persönliche Immunität und Schutz zugesichert wird. Die Ankündigung der Ermittlungsbehörde NABU, noch weitere spannende Enthüllungen auf Lager zu haben, scheint seine Wirkung auf den inneren Machtzirkel Kiews zu entfalten.

Die Korruptionsgeschichte entpuppt sich immer deutlicher als Inszenierung. Bitte nicht falsch verstehen: Natürlich ist die Ukraine bis in die politischen Eliten hinein hoch korrupt. Daran besteht kein Zweifel. Nur scheint man in den USA die Entscheidung getroffen haben, Kiew genau jetzt über den seit langem ausgelegten Fallstrick stolpern zu lassen.

Trump says no NATO path or Crimea return for Ukraine as Zelensky comes to Washington for peace talks

Trump has stepped up pressure on Zelensky ahead of Aug. 18 peace talks in Washington with European leaders, saying on Truth Social that the Ukrainian president could end the war „almost immediately“ if he chose to or he could „continue to fight“ while making it clear that Ukraine would not be permitted to join NATO or reclaim Crimea from Russian control as part of any potential deal with Moscow.

Zelensky meanwhile cautioned that any new deal must prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from using concessions as a „springboard“ for another attack, citing Russia‘s seizure of Crimea in 2014.

Sources told the FT that the conversation occurred during a July 4 phone call. “Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? . . . Can you hit St Petersburg too?” Trump asked. Zelensky replied that his forces could “absolutely” strike the Russian cities if the US provided the necessary weapons.

The report said that Trump signaled backing for the idea of providing long-range weapons in order to “make them [Russians] feel the pain” to pressure Moscow at the negotiating table. In comments to reporters, Trump later denied that he was considering providing Ukraine with long-range weapons and said that Zelensky “shouldn’t target Moscow.”

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.

„We discussed diplomatic efforts – ours and those of our partners. Russia ignores all calls from the world for a ceasefire and continues the killings. In addition, the Russians have not been able to present the so-called ‚memorandum‘ for more than a week, which they promised to prepare immediately after the 1,000-for-1,000 exchange. Ukraine has not received any documents from them. Turkey has not either. In order for the meeting to be not empty, it is necessary to understand its agenda and properly prepare for the negotiations.

He noted that Dnipro, Sumy, Cherkasy, and other regions came under Russian attack. There was a massive drone strike on Kryvyi Rih – targeting a local enterprise and civilian infrastructure. In Okhtyrka, Sumy region, homes, stores, and civilian infrastructure were damaged. Communities in Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhia regions also came under fire.

“Everyone who was affected must be given assistance. But there must also be clear pressure and strong action from the world on Russia – more pressure, more sanctions from the United States – to stop Russian strikes.

“Putin will try to drag everyone into endless discussions, just as he did with Minsk, wasting days, weeks and months on meaningless negotiations, while his weapons continue to kill people. Every condition that Putin puts forward is just an attempt to block any diplomacy,” Zelenskyy noted.

The president strongly urged everyone who has influence on Russia, especially the United States, to take strong steps that can help.

“Pressure should be directed at those who do not want to stop the war. Pressure should be on Russia. Only decisive action can stop this war that has been going on for years,” he stressed.
