The Russia-Ukraine war has been fought for several years, what will be the outcome? I think most people will say that it is "both sides lose", and no one will say that Russia and Ukraine are "win-win".
But these are all ordinary people.
US President Trump is not a mortal. Recently, Trump proposed a plan to stop Russia and Ukraine on the spot, and then each claim victory.
This is a great joy for everyone.
Trump tweeted on social media that he strongly suggested a ceasefire on the ground between Russia and Ukraine, each declaring victory, and dividing the Donbass region according to the actual occupation of both sides, and then withdrawing their respective troops.
What a great idea!
I have to say that Trump’s “classification of victory” plan is really great, and if it can be implemented, it will be the second “win-win war” in history.
Per it is because Trump put forward such a happy idea, this time Europe has agreed, all strongly support Trump's position.
Look, Britain, France, Germany, and Poland, these four countries that have been clamoring that they must support Ukraine to the end, say that even if the United States does not support them, they will continue to support Ukraine to the end. Now they all support Trump's plan.
In particular, Ukrainian President Zelensky also agreed, not to say to fight the end.
This, I think, will surprise not only Trump, but Putin as well.
Putin will say: What are you little pieces of conspiracy? Didn't you say before that you would support Ukraine in fighting to the end? You, Xiaoying and Xiaofa, were very hard-mouthed before. Why don't you say that you will fight to the end now?
There is no need to ask, there is no need to check. In the current situation of the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine must have the disadvantage and Russia has the advantage. However, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, countries that have previously expressed their support for Ukraine to fight to the end, must now be more than enough.
Otherwise, Zelensky would not agree that Britain, France, Germany, including the United States, would not scream for a ceasefire, but would “continue to fuel.”
Therefore, the so-called "each claiming victory" is actually not only a failure for Ukraine, but also a failure for Europe. Europe was unwilling to Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory before, but now it has to accept the reality.
While they will not recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory, it is only a legal non-recognition, and in reality, they have to imply it.
In fact, from the beginning of this war, Ukraine was doomed to failure. The question lies in the extent of the losses. Negotiating a ceasefire at the beginning, or whether it has more lost ground and more losses?
According to Bloomberg, citing sources, European countries are working with Ukraine on a “12-point peace plan” to end the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
One of them is remarkable, that if both parties agree, after signing, Both sides must promise not to seek any new territorial expansion。
What does that mean? Obviously, it means that Ukraine will no longer ask Russia for the lost territory back.
Isn’t this the same as acknowledging that Russia always owns the territory that occupied Ukraine?
Although it is impossible for Ukraine to regain its territory, the promise of no longer seeking any new territorial expansion is, after all, equivalent to giving up its own territory in a very different sense.
This seems to be worse than the Korean Armistice Agreement.
However, since Lenzelensky and several major European supporters are so enthusiastic about a ceasefire and actually accept Russia's occupation of Ukraine territory on a de facto level, this inevitably makes Putin feel uneasy.
Therefore, Russia’s attitude is to refuse an immediate ceasefire.
In fact, if you really do what Trump said now, the promise of Ukraine to no longer seek any new territorial expansion, Russia can see well, after all, has received great benefits.
However, Russia refused, which shows that there are still problems that make Russia feel uneasy.
