'Russia To Keep All Ukranian Territories': NATO & EU Horrified As Trump Sides With Putin In War [Video]

'Russia To Keep All Ukranian Territories': NATO & EU Horrified As Trump Sides With Putin In War

In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territories—for now. Ukraine’s NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise. #Ukraine #Russia #USCeasefirePlan #RussiaUkraineWar #Ceasefire #PeaceDeal #UkraineWar #RussiaNews #ISWMap #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Geopolitics #Biden #Putin #NATO #SecurityGuarantees #FrozenConflict #TerritorialDispute #USForeignPolicy #UkrainePeace #ParisTalks #RussiaSanctions #CeasefireMonitoring #UkraineConflict #PostWarEurope #UkraineBorders #OccupiedTerritories #RussiaKeepsLand #PeaceAtWhatCost Also Read Preparations Underway For Vladimir Putin’s India Visit: Russian FM Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/preparations-underway-for-vladimir-putin-s-india-visit-russian-fm-lavrov-4106621.html?ref=DMDesc Diplomatic Breakthrough: Russia and Ukraine Commit to Black Sea Maritime Safety :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/diplomatic-breakthrough-russia-and-ukraine-commit-to-black-sea-maritime-safety-4105123.html?ref=DMDesc What Makes Ukraine’s Minerals So Special?
