Trump aide drops bombshell about Ukraine's future peace deal chances
A top Trump advisor suggests new approach to Ukraine-Russia conflict focusing on immediate peace rather than territory recovery. Recent talks between key figures hint at possible shift in US support strategy
Bryan Lanza‚ a senior Trump advisor made some eye-catching statements about the future US stance on Ukraine-Russia conflict (which started roughly 4 years ago). His recent BBC chat showed a clear-cut shift in priorities: peace takes the front seat while territory recovery gets pushed to back-burner
Its not a vision for winning‚ but its a vision for peace
The situation on-ground looks different than what Ukraine wants — Russia holds about one-fifth of Ukrainian land including Crimea (which they took back in 2014). Volodymyr Zelenskiy keeps pushing for complete territory return but Lanzaʼs words suggest thats not gonna fly with Trumpʼs team
Here are key points from Lanzaʼs talk:
- No US troops will fight for Crimea
- Ukraine needs to show real-will for peace
- Territory recovery isnt top-priority anymore
- Peace talks should start without pre-conditions
Meanwhile Vladimir Putin spoke last summer about his own peace-deal must-haves: Ukraine should forget about four regions that Moscow now calls its own (even though they dont fully control them). Donald Trump also jumped in saying heʼd fix everything super-fast but didnt share any real plan
A phone chat happened this week between Zelenskiy and Trump with tech-boss Elon Musk somehow joining in — showing how this whole peace-deal thing might get more interesting soon
