Well, what a difference a week makes. Last week there were still many loud voices discussing just how profound the Trump pivot towards Ukraine was in reality (ho, ho). People were focused on “crippling” sanctions on Russia, on Trump being angry at Putin, etc. Then on Wednesday rumors started coming out that the Trump administration had an approved “peace” plan for Russia-Ukraine and the rest, as the say, is tragedy. When the details on the 28 points of the plan were released they were shown to be a threat to the continuing existence of Ukraine as a free and sovereign state (though that did not stop some Ukraine-Trump backers from showing their true colors and saying what a solid plan it was). Then even more fascinating news broke. The peace plan seems to have been at least partly taken word for word from Russian documents—and then we ended up with some fascinating reactions from within the Trump administration with JD Vance playing a key role as a backer of the deal and Marco Rubio (possibly) trying to disassociate himself. Welcome to the 2028 election.
