The Kremlin Ignored the Peace Plan from Trump's Team – ISW.

Experts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) report that Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a proposal being developed by the team of newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a potential peace plan.

ISW analysts note that Putin directly rejected Trump's team plan to postpone Ukraine's NATO membership for ten years as a condition for ending the war in Ukraine, as reported by Ukrainska Pravda.

The report indicates that on December 26, Putin responded to a journalist's request to comment on Trump's team proposal to delay Ukraine's NATO membership for 10-20 years.

The Kremlin leader stated that it does not matter when Ukraine joins NATO - 'today, tomorrow, or in 10 years'.

'Putin's statement from December 26 is part of a series of remarks he has made lately, confirming his refusal to consider compromises regarding his demands from late 2021 to early 2022. These demands include forcing Ukraine to become a permanently neutral state that will never join NATO, imposing strict limitations on the size of the Ukrainian army, and removing the Ukrainian government', the report states.
