Episode notes
Plan Threatens Ukraine’s Sovereignty
- Zelensky says the Trump-backed 28-point plan would force Ukraine to cede territory, cut forces, and renounce NATO membership.
- He warns signing it risks Ukraine's freedom, dignity, and constitutionally protected interests.
Concessions For Guarantees May Be Lopsided
- The proposal trades territorial and military concessions for U.S. security guarantees and reconstruction aid.
- Critics view the deal as tilted toward Moscow and potentially a capitulation by Kyiv.
Negotiate, Don’t Capitulate
- Zelensky will still engage diplomatically with the U.S. to seek alternatives and preserve sovereignty.
- He plans to present arguments and push for a renegotiated deal that doesn't trade dignity for deliverables.
