Former US President Donald Trump and his vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance outlined a plan to end the war in Ukraine.
They proposed a model of a frozen conflict with autonomous regions on both sides of the demilitarized zone, and Ukraine would remain outside NATO.
Trump's concept revises the Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015, which failed to stop hostilities in eastern Ukraine. One of the advisors of the former president stated that these agreements outlined a plan to preserve the territorial integrity of Ukraine with the consolidation of autonomous zones, but the conditions were never implemented or enforced.
This time, according to the advisor, mechanisms will be provided to enforce the agreement with consequences for its violation. However, compliance with the agreement should be monitored by European troops, not NATO forces or UN peacekeepers.
