💬 US won't send soldiers to 'uphold peace in Ukraine' - Trump's team

In the transition administration of Trump, a new scenario for the end of the conflict in Ukraine is being discussed, WSJ reports, citing sources.
 
“We can do training and other support but the barrel of the gun is going to be European,” a member of Trump’s team said. “We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Get the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it.


The main points of the plan:

 
🔸 Freeze the current front line and declare a demilitarized zone along its length. Who will ensure its security is unknown;
 
🔸 One of the newspaper's interlocutors ruled out the involvement of US troops or contingents from the UN and other US-funded organizations;
 
🔸 Ukraine is abandoning plans to join NATO for at least another 20 years;
 
🔸 In exchange, the US will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons;
 
🔸 A member of Trump's team anonymously suggested asking the Poles, Germans, British, and French to do peacekeeping in Ukraine.
