Trump's "Agreement": Russia can get 20% of Ukraine's territory - NYT

Ukraine may lose a fifth of its territory, writers of The New York Times (NYT) newspapers write in the forecast for the first months of Trump's presidency. Trump's promised agreement on Ukraine in 24 hours is impossible because "everything looks a little more complicated. " Trump said he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin "soon", which is a notable moment, especially because Biden has not spoken to the Russian leader for almost three years.

The agreement may look like Russia will keep about 20% of Ukraine's occupied territories. It will be part of a truce similar to that stopped but did not end the Korean war of 1953. The most difficult part of any agreement is the security agreement. "Who can guarantee that Putin does not use the stopping of hostilities to re -equipment, recruit and training of new forces, removal of lessons from the mistakes of the last three years and re -invasion?" - Analytics are asked.

The general contours of Trump's agreement are viewed so far. The ceasefire can be supported by European peacekeeping forces, most likely, led by British, German and French troops. The key, as stated by two high -ranking officials from the Presidential Administration Joe Biden, will be whether Trump wants to preserve the central role of the United States in granting intelligence, weapons and permission to Ukraine.

His Vice president James David Vance is a leading critic of supplies to Kiev weapons in Kiev. The Russians will want a much greater agreement in which the US will remove weapons and troops from Europe. Trump retains silence on this. It should be reminded that according to some forecasts in 2026 the Russian Federation can occupy Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, and then attack NATO countries.
