The president-elect's team plans to force Kiev to suspend its NATO aspirations, sources have told the outlet
Donald Trump's team is considering several potential plans to end the Ukraine conflict, which would require Kiev to drop its plans to join NATO in the foreseeable future and freeze hostilities along the current front line, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing sources.
According to officials and aides familiar with the situation, the Trump team does not yet have a detailed plan, with different factions "set to compete to influence the Republican's foreign policy." Such "traditionally minded" Trump allies as Mike Pompeo, who served as secretary of state and CIA director during the president-elect's first term, are reportedly pushing for a deal that "doesn't appear to give a major win to Moscow."
Other figures, such as Richard Grenell, who could become Trump's national security adviser, may advocate for ending the conflict as soon as possible, even if Kiev has to make significant concessions, the article said.
However, according to the WSJ, peace proposals "uniformly recommend freezing the war in place... and forcing Ukraine to temporarily suspend its quest to join" NATO. Three unnamed officials inside Trump's transition office told the paper that one idea is to have Ukraine pledge not to join NATO "for at least 20 years," while in exchange, the US would provide Kiev with ample weapons deliveries to keep Russia at bay.
The reported plan would also establish a demilitarized zone along the current front line, with one Trump adviser ruling out the possibility that peace there would be maintained by American troops or US-funded international organizations such as the UN. Under this proposal, the US would seek to delegate this task to its European allies, according to the WSJ.

Biden is the one who stabbed Ukraine in the back.

Trump does not have to do the same by forcing them to stop fighting.
Own it or shut up and if nobody owns it, as a public official, on public policy, foreign or domestic, don't print it. Simple. Stop the endless speculation caused by doing it.
Absolutely!
Good luck with that.
WSJ is owned by Rupert so they are nothing but globalist warmongers. If Pompeo is really pushing that then he needs to be gone.Bullcrap story just what Rupert wants. Not another penny for Ukes.
Nor does Russia have to given how that Ukraine is running out of troops and because its electric grid is crippled and close to collapse.
Don’t bet against President Trump, Ivan.
Doubtful. Trump is going to likely force a formal agreement to end the conflict with concessions from the Ukraine not to join NATO but we are not going to arm them up again. The map will likely be re drawn giving the Congress to Russia and Russia agrees to withdraw etc etc.
