Ukraine: The 28 Point Peace Plan is practically a capitulation of Kyiv

“1. Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed.

2. A full and comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. All ambiguities of the past 30 years will be considered resolved.
3. It is expected that Russia will not invade neighbouring countries and that NATO will not expand further.” (…)

“5. Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees.

6. The size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be limited to (6)00,000 personnel.
7. Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to include in its statutes a provision that it will not accept Ukraine in the future.
8. NATO agrees not to deploy troops in Ukraine.
9. European fighter aircraft will be stationed in Poland” (…)

“21. Territories:

1. Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk will be recognised de facto as Russian, including by the United States.
2. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia will be frozen along the line of contact, which will mean de facto recognition along the line of contact.
3. Russia renounces other annexed territories (probably referring to Russian-occupied parts of Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts – Ed.) that it controls outside the five regions.
4. Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the part of Donetsk oblast they currently control; this withdrawal zone will be regarded as a neutral demilitarised buffer zone, internationally recognised as territory belonging to the Russian Federation. Russian forces will not enter this demilitarised zone.
5. After future territorial arrangements are agreed, both the Russian Federation and Ukraine undertake not to change these arrangements by force. Any security guarantees will not apply in the event of violation of this commitment.
6. Russia will not obstruct Ukraine’s commercial use of the Dnipro River, and agreements will be reached on the free transportation of grain across the Black Sea” (Full text of 28 point Trump peace plan that is published by Ukrainian MP, 18.11.2025).

The Trump regime isn’t even playing wise-guy or third-party-ism. No, they are just giving Kremlin what it wants and expect Ukraine to give way. The U.S. and the Trump regime has no concern about the people of Ukraine or the future of Europe. Because, the security agreements and promise of defending the sovereignty of Ukraine has been promised before, but been violated by Russia countless times. This 28 Point Peace Plan is flawed and only serves President Vladimir Putin.

This plan is ushering in the next step of temporary peace and stalemate of the conflict. However, this is weakening the Ukraine defence and capabilities. This is like offering a token of respect to Moscow and thinking Ukraine will just give it all away. There is lofty and empty promises, just like the United Kingdom and United States offered Ukraine after it gave away its nuclear weapons. That’s why this sort of arrangement should consider the implications for Ukraine. However, this whole peace plan is all serving the interests the Russian Federation and Putin.

All it does… is giving Russia all the leverage and all the power. It is stopping the conflict for now. Silencing the guns, but they can re-issue war and conflict the moment it has strengthen its armies and have more ammo. That’s what is going on here. Ukraine is the loser in all of this. There is nothing it is offered that is really securing it or giving them a proper defence against aggression. Those promises haven’t been kept and that’s why Russia is embolden in its aggression and annexation of Ukrainian territories. The U.S. is acting like we don’t know, but it is obvious.

The U.S. and Trump yet again is serving the interest of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile it is disregarding the Ukrainian sovereignty and their rights, which is so easily traded away. They aren’t even clever about it. This is all the wish-list of Kremlin and we can smell it from a mile away.

This is just buying Russian time and they can strike Kyiv later. They haven’t shown any restraint or any sort of manner, which oozes peace or lessen their war effort. However, we are supposed to believe they will stop after signing this agreement. The Russians has already signed a Budapest Memorandum and Minsk Agreements, which they haven’t honoured. So, why would they honour this? Peace.
