President Trump is signaling that he may be prepared to sign a peace agreement with Russia and dare Ukraine to reject it. Before you scoff, consider this hypothetical scenario: 1. Trump announces a 28-point peace framework that includes hundreds of billions in reconstruction funding, territorial swaps, a demilitarized zone, arrangements for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and American-backed security guarantees. Essentially a sweetened Witkoff–Dmitriev plan. 2. Putin goes on television, announces that the “Special Military Operation” is over, accepts the agreement, and declares an end to offensive operations. 3. Trump announces that America considers the war over and formally certifies a cessation of hostilities to Congress (setting the stage for lifting sanctions on Russia). He warns that if Ukraine rejects the agreement and continues military operations, Washington will consider Ukraine as the aggressor, not the victim, and reconsider its military, intelligence, and diplomatic support accordingly. 4. Markets surge; oil dumps. A handful of European leaders, China, and other governments welcome the breakthrough and congratulate Trump on ending the war. Trump spends the final days of the American election campaign declaring that he accomplished what everyone said was impossible. Is this the very scenario President Zelensky was concerned about on television today?
