Putin’s Peace Plan: Ukraine Surrenders Donetsk Like It’s Hot
In the latest episode of 'How to Redraw Borders 101,' Putin demands Ukraine withdraw completely from Donetsk and Luhansk while freezing the rest as some kind of grand concession. Trump calls it a 'success' despite Putin sticking to his maximalist playbook. Meanwhile, Zelensky's prepping for a Washington pow-wow, where security guarantees might get a China cameo instead of NATO stars—because when you ask for backup, why not add a panda to the squad? As Axios reports, Trump is hustling to schedule a 'fast' trilateral summit on August 22. Spoiler: Putin’s RSVP is still pending, probably stuck in the spam folder.
