Donald Trump yesterday he called Volodymyr Zelenskyapparently with the participation of Elon Musk. The theme is obviously the end of the conflict in Ukraine which has been going on for almost three years now. The peace that the new American president has in mind is more complicated than the somewhat simplistic way the major Italian media are telling us about.
Trump’s plan is complex because it envisages there being a demilitarized zone without a “sell-out” of Kiev by the Ukrainians. Trump’s idea is not to make the Ukrainians “lose” the war, but he would force them to accept the country’s non-membership of NATO, the real keystone of the entire conflict. In short, Ukraine will be defended by the United States and Europe without it being part of NATO, simply because if it were part of the Alliance Russia would find itself a border country that it could have in its bases missiles military Born. Which would be the reason why Putin, at least on paper, at a certain point decided to invade Ukraine.
Here are the points of the plan summarized Trump for theUkraine:
- a demilitarized zone of 1300 km along the current front line
- no American military presence
- Ukraine’s commitment not to join NATO for at least 20 years.
- In exchange for Kiev’s renunciation of NATO, the Americans would undertake to supply Ukraine with American weapons. In short: Zelensky wouldn’t have a NATO hat, but he would have the weapons to defend himself.
- TAmong the options proposed to Trump by his staff there would also be freezing the conflict.
