Lara Marlowe, a veteran war correspondent and contributor to the Irish Times, dives deep into the complexities of the newly leaked US-backed peace plan regarding Ukraine. She calls the plan absurd, highlighting the territorial concessions that could give Russia control of Donetsk. Marlowe discusses the financial implications, suggesting that a US-led reconstruction could primarily benefit American interests. She also warns that the draft risks rewarding aggression and calls for Europe to stand firm against potential capitulation in the peace talks.
