Putin Rejects Trump's Proposal on Ukraine and NATO
11:57
Vladimir Putin has rejected a proposal from Donald Trump’s team to delay Ukraine’s NATO membership by at least 10 years in exchange for ending the war. Moscow remains steadfast in its demands that Ukraine never join NATO and that the government in Kyiv be replaced.
According to the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), this statement aligns with a series of recent comments from Putin, which indicate that the Kremlin is unwilling to compromise on key contentious issues. One of Russia’s main demands is maintaining Ukraine as a neutral state that will never join NATO. Additionally, the Kremlin insists on limiting the size and armament of Ukraine’s military and calls for the replacement of the current Ukrainian government.
