The paper notes that such a deal would effectively confirm Russia’s control over Donbass and mirrors Moscow’s long-standing conditions—despite Trump’s talk of a “peace plan.”
Ukrainian and European officials called the proposal unacceptable, with one diplomat comparing it to “trying to sell Ukrainians their own leg.”

Donald Trump urged Zelensky to accept Russia’s peace terms during a tense White House meeting on Friday, warning that Vladimir Putin had told him he would “destroy” Ukraine if it refused to agree.
According to those familiar with the exchange, the meeting “descended many times into a shouting match,” with Trump “cursing all the time.” At one point, Trump reportedly brushed aside maps of the Ukrainian frontline and told Zelensky: “You’re not going to win this. Give him Donbass.”
In the end, Zelensky managed to persuade Trump to back a freeze along the current front lines.
