Trump's peace plan at risk of new conflicts

According to The Telegraph commentator David Blair, Donald Trump's "peace formula" regarding Ukraine is still immature and was developed hastily. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The author emphasizes that such an irresponsible approach could result in a so-called "peace" agreement that actually lays the groundwork for new conflicts. Blair's main criticism is that Vladimir Putin might demand some territories in Ukraine, including those he does not fully control.

Approximately 200,000 people live in these areas, and handing them over to the enemy is considered a dangerous scenario. According to the author, it is precisely in these territories that Ukraine has established its strongest defensive line.

If these positions are easily surrendered, it could become easier to advance into other regions later, increasing the appetite for aggression. As the worst-case scenario, Blair points out that such an agreement could give Putin time and favorable conditions for broader military actions.

According to him, the current deal might serve as a pause before a new war in the future. Blair believes that the only way to achieve real peace is to force Putin to abandon his territorial demands.

However, in the current situation, the pressure is mainly directed not at Putin but rather at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The article also highlights that Trump's and his adviser Steve Whitkoff's attempts to gain prestige as mediators could lead to dangerous consequences.

Under such circumstances, security guarantees may not be sufficiently strong, and Putin might retain the opportunity to resume the war after the pause. In conclusion, the article states the following about the peace agreement: if the deal remains only on paper without real guarantees in practice, it will not be peace but a temporary pause before further conflicts.

For this reason, the true test of any agreement is not the day it is signed but the period that follows.
