(MENAFN) According to a recent report from Reuters, two key advisers to former President Donald trump have formulated a comprehensive peace plan for Ukraine, contingent upon Trump's potential reelection in November. Citing insights from an aide to the Republican front-runner, Reuters revealed that Trump has pledged to resolve the Ukraine conflict swiftly if reinstated to office, a promise he has reiterated with claims of achieving resolution "in 24 hours," although specific details of the plan have yet to be publicly disclosed.
Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg and his colleague Fred Fleitz, both former chiefs of staff in the National Security Council during Trump's first term, purportedly presented the plan to Trump. Kellogg indicated that while Trump did not necessarily endorse every aspect of their proposal, his initial response was reportedly favorable.
The essence of the plan, as outlined by Kellogg, emphasizes a diplomatic approach urging Ukraine to engage in negotiations and warning that US support would diminish should Kiev fail to participate constructively. Additionally, the plan advocates for compelling Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the negotiation table under threat of increased military aid to Ukraine, aimed at bolstering its capability to combat Russian forces in the field.
Reuters further detailed that the proposed peace initiative includes an immediate ceasefire based on existing battle lines during negotiation phases, without requiring Kiev to formally relinquish disputed territories to Moscow. Moreover, the plan reportedly entails a commitment to suspend Ukraine's NATO accession talks, a concession aimed at appeasing Russian concerns.
The development of this peace proposal underscores ongoing international efforts to resolve the protracted Ukraine conflict, highlighting potential policy directions that could influence United States foreign relations under a future Trump administration. As discussions and speculations continue, the implications of such strategic initiatives on global security dynamics and diplomatic engagements remain subject to broader geopolitical scrutiny.
