DONALD Trump's reported plan to end the Ukraine war has emerged after Zelensky held a call congratulating the president-elect.
-snip-
Trump would freeze the conflict in place and establish a demilitarised zone down the locked front line, the Wall Street Journal now reports.
Kyiv would not join Nato for 20 years, but the US would continue to arm Ukraine to the teeth to prevent Putin from invading again.
Who would police the demilitarised zone remains unclear, according to the sources, but it wouldn't involve American troops or an international body.

"We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Get the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it."
It remains unclear if the Ukrainians approve of the plan - but Zelenksy has already spoken to the president-elect.
Zelensky wrote on Telegram that he had an "excellent" call with Trump and congratulated him on his landslide victory.
The Ukrainian said: "Strong and unwavering US leadership is vital for the world and for a just peace."
Trump's man in Ukraine said the newly elected Republican will tell Vlad to "stop the war", the Independent reports.
Kurt Volkner, who was Trump's special representative for Ukraine between 2017 and 2019, said Trump will immediately push for peace.
He said Trump is "going to make a phone call to Putin as quickly as possible and tell Putin that he needs to stop the war, that the fighting has to stop, and that there has to be peace."

A perfect phone call??
Impeach! Impeach!
My plan. Send American troops there and make them a trip-wire just like South Korea. Then make all of Europe pay for it. Hire Ukraine widows to work on the military bases.
Russia has no real beef with us. They’re just paranoid about everybody. Trump let them know it doesn’t have to include us.
Putin’s 3 day invasion ends in January.
Somehow, I think this may go the way that Palestinian deals have always gone —
“You can have peace. We will give you 95% of what you want.”
“We reject this deal.”
If it goes that way, I hope we tell Russia: “Take it all. They don’t deserve to be a sovereign nation.”
Since there are already North Koreans in the area, all you need to do is send in some South Korean troops, or even better, some roof-top Koreans to stand on the other side of the new DMZ.
Hopefully your spam on FR ends then too and is relegated to the dark cob web corners of DU where it belongs.
What did all this Ukrainians die for Marcus? Do you feel like a fool? I certainly think you are a fool.
What will you do all day?
Maybe go live life?
Did you really think President Trump would throw Putin a victory parade?
Poor Marcus, the last idiot waving yellow and blue.
Frozen conflict = Putin lost.
This is an interesting plan. Not saying it’s good or bad. The 20 years is to ensure Ukraine joining NATO does not happen during Putin’s tenure, allowing him to save face.
The 20% of Ukrainian territory currently occupied by Russian troops will not be recognized by the U.S. as Russian land. Only as the “occupied territories”.
Arming Ukraine to the teeth means it would have all the advantages for deterrence without wearing the NATO label.
YouCrayne Money Grift ends in January.
The goal seems to be to end the conflict right now, not necessarily to have a permanent solution, while allowing both parties to save face. And also to make sure Russia never attacks Ukraine or another state again. I think that’s an acceptable plan under the circumstances.
Frozen conflict = Putin lost.
