Is Trump’s Peace Plan Making Headway?

It is now Ukraine, not Russia, that is pouring cold water on US President Donald Trump’s peace plan to end the more than three-year-long Russia-Ukraine war, which Russia claims is a 'special military operation’. Trump wants to seal a lasting peace accord between the two countries within his 100th day in office, which he will complete on April 30. After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the US proposal to recognise Crimea as Russian territory and give up his bid for NATO membership, Trump has accused him of prolonging the “killing field” and making “very harmful” statements. This will further worsen the already soured ties between Washington and Kyiv.
