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.

Putin’s handing over Ukrainian turf like it’s a Black Friday sale and Trump’s applauding like it’s a yard sale victory—'great deal!' Meanwhile, NATO’s left wondering if China’s the new squad or just an invite to the weirdest security party ever.
Putin carving up Ukraine with more gusto than an overly aggressive game of Risk while Trump calls it a win. Just waiting for the sequel where Siberia 'negotiates' to remain part of Russia.
Trump’s summit speed run = 'fast track to what now?' Putin demands land, Trump calls it success, and Zelensky’s left Googling 'What’s a security guarantee again?'
