I guess he must be from Planet UkieFluffer.

AND....drum roll...the deal is dead. Long live the deal.
Except now Trump can say, "Ok...we are done with this shit. We tried."



Security guarantees is what started WWII. Let's not do that again.
Everyone thank Vicky Nuland and Lindsey Graham for this crap. McCain too, but he’s dead so no point.
So Witless Witkoff takes "peace plan" written for him by his butt buddy Dmitriev (with whom he partnered in a corrupt Zaryadya Park deal back in 2015-ish)



Nearly two-thirds of Americans want the US to continue sending weapons to Ukraine — even as the Trump administration tries yet again to negotiate an end to the almost four-year-old war, a new poll of national security priorities has found.
The Reagan National Defense Survey, released Thursday, found that 64% of Americans favor sending lethal aid to support Kyiv’s government, up nine percentage points from last year and the highest proportion since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.
Slightly more (65%) support giving Ukraine long-range cruise missiles, such as Tomahawks, to allow strikes deep inside Russian territory — while 68% support selling American-made weapons to European allies, who would then provide them to Ukraine.
Unlike in 2024, a majority of Republicans (59%) support sending weapons to Ukraine to fight off Russia’s invasion, up from 44% last year. Three-quarters of Democrats support aiding Ukraine, up from 68% one year ago.
In other issues related to Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II, a plurality of Americans (45%) support Ukraine’s “full territorial liberation” from Russia, while 23% say Kyiv should cede territory in exchange for “peace and security guarantees” and 22% favor a cease-fire along the current battle lines.
Meanwhile, nearly seven in 10 Americans (69%) favor the US and Europe providing Ukraine with a collective defense commitment similar to NATO’s Article V and almost three-quarters (74%) favor establishing a demilitarized zone controlled by European forces with the support of US airpower.
“These findings show that Americans’ bipartisan commitment to Ukraine has strengthened over the past year,” said the Ronald Reagan Foundation & Institute, which conducted the survey. “The public favors a strategy which combines sustained US support, European burden-sharing, and credible deterrence over territorial concessions or premature disengagement.”

(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the United
States—
(1) to support the Government of Ukraine in restoring
its sovereign and territorial integrity;
(2) to condemn and oppose all of the destabilizing efforts
by the Government of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in
violation of its obligations and international commitments;
(3) to never recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea
by the Government of the Russian Federation or the separation
of any portion of Ukrainian territory through the use of military
force;
The result is that the Russians are making major offensive moves in the north, central and southern areas of the Donbas and AFU positions are crumbling due to lack of food, ammunition and manpower. By this winter, there will be little standing in the way of a full-on Russian race to the Dnipro.

Russia wins in every scenario. The only variables are the size and speed of the victory.

Summary:
1) Confirmation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, Ukraine receives U.S. security guarantees, but with conditions.
2) Ukraine remain neutral and will never join NATO (added to their constitution). NATO also agrees it will never accept Ukraine. This will be legally binding.
3) The size of Ukraine’s Armed Forces is restricted. Ukraine remains a non-nuclear state.
4) Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk are recognized as Russian. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are “frozen” along the line of contact. Some territories become a demilitarized buffer zone under de facto Russian control.
5) NATO does not station troops in Ukraine.
6) The U.S. and Europe launch a major investment package for Ukraine’s recovery. $100 billion in frozen Russian assets go to rebuilding Ukraine; the U.S. takes 50% of the profits. Europe adds another $100 billion.
7) Russia in the global system, gradual lifting of sanctions. Russia’s return to the G8. Long-term U.S.–Russia economic cooperation.
8) Humanitarian issues: “All-for-all” prisoner exchange, including civilians and children. Ukraine must have education programs to de-Nazification.
9) Energy and special facilities. Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant resumes operation under IAEA supervision; electricity split 50/50 between Ukraine and Russia. The U.S. helps rebuild Ukraine’s gas infrastructure.
10) Internal political processes in Ukraine. Elections held 100 days after signing the agreement. Full amnesty for all participants in the war.
11) Implementation and oversight. The agreement is legally binding. Oversight carried out by a “Peace Council” chaired by Donald Trump. Violations result in sanctions. Immediate ceasefire and withdrawal to agreed positions after signing.
