Part 5/11:
A minerals trade agreement between Ukraine and the U.S.
The lifting of sanctions on Russia alongside enhanced economic collaboration, particularly in energy sectors.
Reactions to the Plan
Reactions to Trump's proposal have been largely negative, particularly from Ukraine and its European allies. For Ukraine, the acknowledgment of Russian control over Crimea is particularly inflammatory, as it undermines their constitutional claim to the territory. Obtaining approval would necessitate a public referendum, which is unlikely given the current political climate.
