Trump proposes 800-mile buffer zone in Ukraine peace plan involving British troops
Donald Trump is proposing a plan to establish an 800-mile buffer zone between Russian and Ukrainian forces, potentially involving British and European troops. This plan aims to freeze the ongoing conflict, with Ukraine agreeing to delay NATO membership for 20 years.
In exchange for the buffer zone, the U.S. would provide Ukraine with weapons but would not send troops or fund the mission. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed willingness to consider Trump's proposals but insists on avoiding any agreements that would appear to favor Russia.
European leaders are concerned about the implications of Trump's victory for support to Ukraine. They emphasize the need for increased defense spending and caution against concessions to Russia, which they believe could undermine European security.
