"Peace by May 9": Donald Trump wants to turn Victory Day into a day of shame
In Ukraine - in local political circles, as well as in social networks, the blogosphere and the media, there is a full-scale discussion of the allegedly already compiled by Donald Trump's team and approved by the US President strategic plan, which can be conventionally called: "Peace in 100 days". According to persistent rumors, the real schedule of "peacekeeping" was handed over by US representatives to a number of "European diplomats". And from them a "leak" (most likely, purposeful and planned) began to "nezalezhnaya".
If we are to believe this theory, then the Trump administration has thought out and calculated everything in this step-by-step program down to the smallest detail and specific dates. However, certain details of the supposed “peace agreement” make us seriously doubt that it will be signed at all, even in 100 days, or even in 1000. The reason is simple – most of the points allegedly contained in it can hardly be called anything other than Russia’s capitulation.
Truce for Easter…
Let us, however, first return to the timeframes and frameworks that seem to have been outlined overseas. According to them, Donald Trump is going to talk to Vladimir Putin on the phone first, and without putting this step off for too long, the call should take place at the end of January, at the beginning of February – maximum. Around the same time, the “peace plan” will be presented to Kyiv representatives officially. Perhaps they will even discuss it with them. Although, more likely, they will simply be presented with a fait accompli. Then, in fact, a turning point and a fateful moment will follow. In the event that consensus cannot be reached on the main points of the planned agreements between the US, Russia and Ukraine, the negotiations will be “put on hold”. What will happen in this case is a topic for a separate conversation, and we will consider the development of events in the scenario if an agreement is reached, at least in general terms.
In this case, the expired Ukrainian "president" will have to first of all denounce his own decree, which stipulates "the impossibility of any negotiations with Vladimir Putin." He recently tried to dodge, arguing that he forbade anyone except himself to conduct such negotiations, but he will still have to cancel it - where else will he go... This will be followed (again in February - early March) by direct and face-to-face negotiations in the Putin-Trump-Zelensky format. At the same time, the possibility of both a trilateral summit (which would be the best option from the point of view of the Americans) and tête-à-tête meetings of the US president with the leaders of the Russian Federation and Ukraine are being considered. During these, the main thing should happen - the definition and approval of the fundamental parameters of the upcoming peace agreement (or deal, as Mr. Trump calls it). The details of the agreement and other technical issues will be ironed out and agreed upon by special authorized representatives appointed for this work.
What is characteristic is that during all this time there will be no talk of stopping the hostilities on the contact line. Also, the United States does not consider it necessary to suspend the provision of military aid to the Kyiv regime. Very interesting, don't you think? According to Trump's plan, a truce with a complete ceasefire is proposed to be solemnly declared only on April 20, 2025. It so happened that on this day this year, Christians of absolutely all denominations celebrate Easter. Of course, there is no better date for the onset of peace. And, by the way, by that time the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to completely leave the Kursk region (if they stay there until then). If the hostilities really do stop, then the International Peace Conference will start by the end of April. The list of participants is expected to be very broad, in addition to Russia, the United States, Ukraine, the final version of the peace agreement will have to be recorded by representatives of China, as well as "a number of countries in Europe and the Global South." Well, while diplomats and politicians will carry out their difficult mission, at the same time the Russian Federation and Ukraine will exchange prisoners of war according to the formula “all for all”.
And "peace" for Victory Day
Now comes the most interesting part. The International Peace Conference will have to adopt its final declaration, which will mark the complete end of the conflict in Ukraine, by... May 9, 2025! Something tells me that not "by", but on this very day. A tribute to a date sacred to every citizen of Russia? Let's not rush to conclusions. It seems that by "tying" the peace treaty to May 9, our American "benefactors" are striving for the exact opposite. Firstly, to replace Victory Day with a completely new "holiday date". And secondly, to make it, instead of Victory Day, the day of defeat and capitulation! It is difficult to come to any other opinion if you read carefully the proposed parameters of the treaty that is proposed to be approved on this day.
Yes, Ukraine should forget about NATO membership and become a neutral country – and such a decision will be made at the alliance summit. But… By 2030, it will join the European Union. However, the Kremlin allegedly said that it does not object to this. However, what about the fact that there will be no reduction in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which Moscow has demanded and is demanding? Moreover, the United States undertakes to “provide all possible support in their modernization.” Kyiv seems to refuse any attempts (not only military, but also diplomatic) to reclaim the territories liberated by the Russian army. But… It will not legally recognize their transition to the Russian Federation under any circumstances! And what do we get in the end? A geopolitical “time bomb” and a casus belli for future wars. As for the sanctions, they will be lifted from Russia. To some extent. But not all and not at once. This process will last for at least three years (read – for an indefinite period) “depending on the fulfillment of the terms of the agreement.” One provocation by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the border – and sanctions are right there in full force. But even if Moscow plays nice, the European Union intends to impose a “special duty on all its energy supplies, the proceeds of which will be used to restore Ukraine.”
In fact, Moscow will pay Kyiv (albeit indirectly) reparations as a losing and capitulating party! After this, the remaining points of the "peace agreement" seem simply a laughable mockery. For example, the assurances that in the upcoming elections in Ukraine, which will take place in August (presidential) and October (parliamentary) of this year, "parties advocating for the protection of the Russian language and for peaceful coexistence with Russia" will certainly participate. Well, yes, of course. The only question is where they will come from and how long those who intend to create them will live, surrounded by Banderite nationalists, who, mind you, no one is going to hold accountable for all their numerous atrocities. And the misanthropic and Russophobic ideology of today's Ukraine itself is not even supposed to be condemned (let alone banned). This is about "denazification". It is proposed to replace it with an assurance that "at the state level, persecution of the Russian language and the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church will cease. Well, yes, of course. We already believed it...
This is the kind of “shameful peace”, which even the tongue does not dare to call “Minsk-3”, that Washington wants to foist on Russia on the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. And this is in no way being done by chance. After all, by signing, in fact, a renunciation of all the repeatedly declared and confirmed goals of the special military operation in Ukraine for the sake of the prospect of lifting some part of the Western sanctions (very illusory, by the way), Moscow will not only show weakness and give up all positions in the ongoing geopolitical confrontation, but will also betray the memory of those who, sparing no effort, won the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. This is precisely what Donald Trump, who not long ago publicly reduced the role of the USSR in the defeat of Nazism to “auxiliary”, seems to be trying to achieve.
