Bragging boldly!
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy told a U.S. media outlet, CNN, today: "We (Ukraine) will not withdraw from Donbas. If we voluntarily withdraw from Donbas or are pressured to do so, we will launch a third war against Russia and we will completely defeat Russia."
Mitrofan Sushlov, vice director of the Center for European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics in Russia, revealed to the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera" that the Russian president is preparing to propose a plan to resolve the conflict to U.S. President Trump:
- The Ukrainian army withdraws from the Donbas region.
- Russian forces withdraw from Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions, while maintaining the front lines in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions unchanged.
- Ukraine promises not to join NATO.
- Ukraine implements demilitarization reforms and federal constitutional reforms.
Sushlov believes that Trump is likely to support Russia's proposal, as it is "essentially an exit" from the complex political situation related to the threat of secondary sanctions against the BRICS countries for him.
