New: Top Ukrainian officials hate Trump's reported plan for ending the war—it would have Kyiv cede land to Russia. Zelensky calls it a "primitive" idea. The official in charge of Crimea tells me it would only encourage Putin's aggression: https://www.thedailybeast.com/volodymyr-zelensky-slams-donald-trumps-primitive-plan-for-ending-war-in-ukraine

The Trump plan is very Trumpy: just straight up crap.
The reasonable starting position for any negotiations is obviously Russia fully out of Ukraine, return every kidnapped Ukrainian, pay for all reconstruction, all incurred healthcare costs, weregeld for all killed, 1000 km demilitarised zone in Russia, destroy all russian nukes, cede permanent UNSC seat to new member picked by the general assembly & remaining permanent unsc members.
