Trump's Ukraine Peace Plan May Force Land Concessions and NATO Neutrality

Vance outlines a vision of demilitarized zones and neutrality for Ukraine, diverging sharply from the Biden administration's support strategy.

Sen. J.D. Vance, Trump's running mate, detailed a plan to establish a demilitarized zone in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory.
The proposed plan includes Ukraine maintaining its sovereignty but agreeing to remain neutral and not join NATO.
Vance's comments highlight a significant departure from the Biden administration's approach, which focuses on military support for Ukraine to achieve a complete victory.
Ukrainian President Zelensky rejected the idea, emphasizing that Ukraine will not trade its land or abandon its people.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to helping Ukraine secure victory and join NATO, despite ongoing Russian counteroffensives in the Kursk region.
