Only Ukraine's victory will end the war. Western democracies should be united to defeat russian fascist aggression.
The war wish-list (falsely presented as a "U.S. peace plan") is the agenda of the rashists in Moscow. If adopted in any form it guarantees global war will ensue.

Russians invaded Luhansk and Donetsk in April 2014. Eleven years and nine months later, the aggressors still do not fully occupy either oblast. Ukrainian defenders are heroic.

The 28-point "peace plan" was written by the Russians and leaked by Kirill Dmitriev as a test of loyalty. Trump and Witkoff instantly adopted it, confirming their slavish devotion to Putin. More minor servants of the Kremlin, such as Orbán and Fico, also fell into line.
