Washington has presented Ukraine with a 28-point plan, which endorses some of Russia’s principal demands in the war, including that Kyiv cede additional territory, curb the size of its military and be barred from joining NATO.
Which is what Trump kept driving them to with all his strongman tactics. Trump’s influence has a time limit as nations divest from the US. Leverage is something a wise leader works to quietly undermine.
