WSJ reports Trump is considering options for Ukraine peace plan that cedes all occupied territory to Moscow, suspends NATO expansion and creates DMZ

The Wall Street Journal rEPORTS that Donald Trump is now inundated with competing proposals from advisers to implement his campaign promise to end the war in Ukraine by Inauguration Day.

The US president-elect has reportedly yet to approve a specific plan to bring both sides to the negotiating table, but WSJ sources say all proposals on his desk break with the Biden administration’s approach of letting Kiev dictate when it should peace talks begin.

According to the WSJ, the options before Trump uniformly recommend freezing the war, “cementing Russia’s seizure of roughly 20 percent of Ukraine,” and forcing Ukraine to suspend its pursuit of NATO membership for at least 20 years. The current front line of the war will “essentially stall” and both sides would agree to an 800-mile demilitarized zone guarded by European peacekeepers and no US troops or soldiers from a US-funded international body , such as the United Nations.
