Trump Wants Control of Ukraine’s Power Plants As He Tries to Trap Russia in Ceasefire | Jim Jatras

But Russia has made it clear that they’re wary of a “Minsk-3” style agreement, especially as Europe moves forward with plans to amass up to 30,000 troops to send to Ukraine as soon as a ceasefire is in place—following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s orders for Europe take on more responsibility for Kiev.

Former U.S. Diplomat and Geopolitical Analyst, Jim Jatras, noted that as appealing as an agreement may seem, Putin needs to remember that “No deal signed by anyone in Washington can be trusted EVER, at least for the foreseeable future,” and that for as long as a Ukrainian State exists, NATO will be looking to meddle in it.
