Trump's contentious proposal: Freeze conflict, halt NATO bid

According to "The Wall Street Journal," Donald Trump plans to resolve the conflict. It is proposed that military actions along the front line will be halted, and a demilitarised zone will be established. Ukraine will not join NATO and will concede the territories seized by Moscow.

Sources from "The Wall Street Journal" report that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is considering offering Ukraine the option of freezing the armed conflict with Russia. The condition would be to maintain the current borders, without reclaiming lost territories, and to refrain from joining NATO for at least twenty years.

Trump's advisers suggest that the plan to end the war is under discussion. It includes the assumption that military actions along the front line will be halted, and a demilitarised zone will be established there. However, it has not yet been decided who would be responsible for its security. A source from the "WSJ" has ruled out the involvement of American troops or a UN contingent in this mission.

No NATO, but weapon supplies

In exchange for not joining NATO, Trump is willing to continue supplying weapons to Ukraine. According to the plan, support in military training and other forms of assistance would primarily be provided by European countries, the "WSJ" indicates.

At the same time, a member of Trump's team noted that Americans will not send their soldiers to maintain peace in Ukraine, and the responsibility for this should rest with the Germans, British, French, and Poles.

Trump will make the decision personally

Despite presenting these scenarios, "WSJ" claims there is no approved plan for ending the war in Ukraine yet. A former national security adviser under the Republicans emphasised that Trump will make the decision personally and at the last moment, making it difficult to predict his decision.

Vice President-elect J.D. Vance suggested a similar approach to resolving the conflict in September. He proposed an agreement in which Russia would retain control over the current Ukrainian territories, with today's front line serving as the basis for the demilitarised zone.

In exchange, Ukraine would receive guarantees to strengthen its armed forces in case of future threats from Russia. Meanwhile, Moscow would be assured that Ukraine would not enter new military alliances, including NATO.
