Under the plan, Ukraine would cede large swathes of its territory to Russia, slash the size of its army to 600,000 (from about 880,000) and renounce Nato membership. Among the many other carrots for Russia was diplomatic recognition of its territorial gains, the lifting of sanctions and a welcome back into the G8.
Critics described the plan as tantamount to forcing Ukraine to “sell itself” – sacrificing sovereignty, territorial integrity and defence capabilities under duress.
“The initial points suggested it must have come from Russia,” Ksenia Maximova, director of the Russian Democratic Society in London, told *The i Paper*.
“It’s such Kremlin rhetoric that it’s really hard to imagine something like that could have been mustered up by someone else. It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that the US took it on. I think it’s quite concerning how little they even tried to hide it.”

> how can I make this geopolitical event about me
A Russian woman living in the UK has described [Donald Trump’s](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?srsltid=AfmBOorGLy-j4nT_yagLEB9r3htuJpfTE7k3vvPOUzSPFx0CnbTZY0dh&ico=in-line_link) proposed peace deal as “disgusting” and said it was doomed to fail because Vladimir Putin “doesn’t want peace”.
An [original 28-point proposal](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/surrender-territory-and-cut-military-drafted-ukraine-plan-proposes-4053872?ico=in-line_link) – hatched mostly [behind closed doors](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/leaked-recordings-prove-putin-making-trump-puppet-4066858?ico=in-line_link) between US special envoy [Steve Witkoff](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/naive-witkoff-couldnt-outwit-putin-ukraine-deal-russian-dream-4054335?ico=in-line_link) and Putin aides Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev – has been roundly criticised as skewed toward Moscow’s interests.

The deal also says that of $100bn in [frozen Russian assets](https://inews.co.uk/news/britain-unlock-russias-dirty-money-heres-how-used-4035021?srsltid=AfmBOopxnEuAGSH9UvS5DSsWEifju6Wub6ez1HJaTfA1TNbe8IF5bWOo&ico=in-line_link) that will be used to rebuild Ukraine, the US will receive 50 per cent of the profits, with the remainder going to a joint US-Russia fund.
Brave woman. Could be made an example.
Yet another expert who says there are ways to keep economy afloat and it could go on for a very long time.
Quick, we need more copium, post some youtube expert who’d say Russia is going to collapse tomorrow.
Daily reminder that not every Russian is a murderous piece of shit.
We need more people like her to speak up about what their country is doing.
For now, she should stay away from windows in tall buildings, and only drink from water bought personally from different convenient stores.
Ukraine needs to take putin out
