Will Trump's 28-Point Plan End the War in Ukraine?

Episode 166

Friday, November 21, 2025 • Duration 50:41

A highly contentious 28-point US peace plan, reportedly drafted by President Trump's Peace Envoy Steve Witkoff and a Russian envoy, was presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, aiming to end the war by giving Russia significant concessions while offering Ukraine a security guarantee and the US financial benefits. Immediately following the plan's delivery, Vice President JD Vance reportedly issued an ultimatum, telling Zelensky to accept the proposal as is by Thursday or face a complete cessation of US military aid. The plan was swiftly met with surprise and alarm from European allies, who saw it as an unacceptable capitulation, violating the principle of sovereignty and calling into question Washington's commitment to collective security. Analysts suggested the timing of this aggressive push was likely an effort to secure a foreign policy win for President Trump amidst domestic political challenges, while capitalizing on a significant corruption scandal currently weakening President Zelensky's administration.
