Thank You for Standing With Ukraine https://ukrainesupport…

Donald Trump is promoting a peace deal that supposedly everyone will love. So why do the reported terms sound so favorable to Vladimir Putin? Greg Terry and Professor Gerdes examine a proposed framework involving reductions to Ukraine’s military, concessions demanded by Moscow, and an extraordinary demand to withdraw NATO infrastructure from Baltic and Scandinavian countries. Is this a serious attempt to end Russia’s war—or an attempt to give Moscow a say over Europe’s security?

Kirill Dmitriev’s appearance at the White House makes the controversy even more troubling. We examine Trump’s statements and play Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, where the Ukrainian president warns against another Yalta-style division of Europe. Zelenskyy makes clear that sovereignty and territorial integrity are essential, while Professor Gerdes explains why the Baltic states have no intention of allowing Russia to dictate their future.

Meanwhile, Ukraine faces warnings of further attacks on critical infrastructure and an increasingly urgent need for air defense. We confront Trump’s comments about Russian civilian deaths, the reported White House leadership change involving Stephen Miller, the controversy surrounding Russian diesel, and Senator Richard Blumenthal’s efforts to challenge that arrangement.

Professor Gerdes also raises a disturbing possibility: Putin is playing a much longer game, counting on winter attacks against Ukraine’s infrastructure and potential fractures in European unity to strengthen Russia’s position. From Washington to NATO, from Ukraine’s energy grid to the future of European security, the stakes extend far beyond one proposed peace agreement.
