NBC: Trump’s peace plan means surrender for Ukrainian soldiers

According to RCO News Agency, while the Ukrainian authorities are struggling to make changes in the 28-point plan of the US President Donald Trump, the News media “NBC News” has talked with the Ukrainian soldiers.

“It’s not a plan,” said Rajevsky, a senior sergeant serving near Pokrovsk. This is a real submission. “There is nothing to discuss here.”

The 44-year-old senior official added: “I am against handing over parts of the Donetsk region that we still have.”

“Of course, it’s a painful issue for me because all this is happening in my motherland,” he, who commands a drone unit, said by phone.

Mykola Beliskov, a military analyst and researcher at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, said: “As the negotiations continue, the forces of Kiev have been under pressure from various directions, so that Russian forces have infiltrated and are using drones to cut off logistics routes.”

While acknowledging Ukraine’s “difficult” situation, he said: “The situation for Ukraine is difficult, but not critical, and its defense lines are not collapsing despite the strong warnings of the United States.” “When we make unilateral concessions and withdraw from the Donetsk region, the situation becomes much worse, but Russia retains its potential and can now threaten neighboring regions.”

In one of these areas, Ukrainian special forces lieutenant Oleksandr, who is fighting in the south, said he and his fellow soldiers are closely following developments surrounding the peace plan. The situation in which he is stationed is not difficult in the East. He said that the Russians are so eager to capture Donbass that they are evacuating their forces from the south.

Oleksandr, who did not want to be identified because of the nature of his ministry, said in audio messages sent on WhatsApp that he also rejects many of the plan’s key points.

“Nobody will be shortchanged on the size of the army, because it is our security guarantee,” said Oleksandr, 43, referring to the proposed 600,000-man limit for Ukraine’s army.

He clarified: “Ukraine should not hastily agree to a peace agreement that would mean surrender.”

The United States had previously proposed a 28-point plan to resolve the war in Ukraine; A proposal that caused dissatisfaction of some Ukrainian and European officials and tried to modify it significantly. On November 23, the United States and Ukraine held consultations in Geneva, and according to Ukrainian media, the delegations present at the meeting agreed on most of the program proposed by Washington, but several key points remained to be discussed in a meeting between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the date of which has not yet been determined.
