“Europe must now fight to save Ukraine and itself as bravely as Ukraine has been fighting to save itself and Europe for a decade. The resources are there, but the courage is not. Stop pretending Trump will ever turn on Putin and face reality and fight.”

Garry Kasparov

The Wall Street Journal has just exposed the ugly truth behind Trump’s so-called “peace plan.”

According to the report, the Kremlin is quietly promoting a “peace through business” proposal to the White House — linking any cease-fire or peace settlement to renewed economic and investment ties between the U.S. and russia.

In other words: This is not a peace plan. It is a business deal — with Putin as the beneficiary and Ukraine as the collateral.

Under this framework, the war would “end” not by restoring justice or sovereignty, but by rewarding russia with access to business opportunities in energy, technology, reconstruction, and beyond.
Meanwhile, Ukraine would be pressured to surrender territory and accept limits on its autonomy and security.

The WSJ highlights that some in Washington appear open to this “deal”, while European allies are deeply alarmed, warning that such economic incentives could normalize and legitimize Moscow’s aggression. The plan would lock in russia’s territorial gains and economically incentivize the conquest of another sovereign state.

If this deal moves forward, russia emerges stronger — rewarded for invasion — while Ukraine pays the price in lost land, lost sovereignty, and long-term insecurity.

It sets a catastrophic precedent: that war can be used as a profitable strategy — that peace can be “bought” by handing victory to the aggressor.

This is not diplomacy. This is not peace. This is appeasement dressed as pragmatism. This is Munich 1938 rewritten as a business memo.

Ukraine does not need a “deal.” Ukraine needs justice, security, and the full restoration of its sovereignty.

War built on imperial ambition must not be rewarded with economic reintegration.

If the democratic world accepts this logic, it opens a door that history tells us never stays closed for long.

After the United States announced what is effectively a capitulation plan for Ukraine, it became clear: any so-called “peace agreements” with russia are not just doomed — they directly provoke further escalation of the war. By ignoring the mass killing of Ukrainian civilians, the U.S. President has knowingly trampled on the fundamental principles of democracy and signaled weakness.

Today, Ukraine suffered one of the longest and most powerful missile attacks since the start of the full-scale war. This attack is a direct result of Ukraine being pushed into accepting points of de facto capitulation. Russia received a clear message: apply more pressure, strike harder, and there will be no consequences.

What we are witnessing now is the result of the degradation of states that have lost the ability to defend their own democratic values and have chosen political convenience over principles. And it is Ukraine that is paying the price for this weakness today.

Very interesting data from the Vandenberg Coalition. They surveyed Trump voters regarding Ukraine and Russia. Here are the results:

✅ Only 16% of Trump supporters agree with the demand that Ukraine should cede its territories.

✅ A majority blame Putin for the lack of a peace agreement.

✅ Four out of five Trump supporters favor supporting Ukraine — in one form or another.

✅ 76% back additional sanctions against Russia.

The survey was conducted from October 22 to 28, with the results released recently.
