Was mW viel zu wenig thematisiert wird, ist der 28. Punkt:
"...the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points..."
Vollkommen abwegig: nicht Waffenstillstand, damit beide Seiten die vereinbarten Positionen räumen können - umgekehrt
Wozu?

Polish President Karol Nawrocki says Trump’s peace plan must reflect the reality that Russia cannot be trusted to honor agreements. He insists any deal must be approved by Kyiv and warns that peace must not come at the cost of Russia achieving its strategic goals.

The “drone wall” can’t be the solution to all our security problems. Suggesting differently is unwise.

The Hill reports that Congress was blindsided by Trump’s 28 point Ukraine plan, learning details mostly from the media. Lawmakers in both parties, including Trump allies like Lindsey Graham, are alarmed, calling the proposal heavily pro Russian and crafted without Congress or Ukrainian involvement.

Trump, according to JD Vance, can’t understand why Russians and Ukrainians aren’t trading, travelling or doing cultural exchanges instead of fighting.
Trump, JD Vance and the whole MAGA clan are completely detached from reality and have no clue about this war, at all.

As a German & American, I wish our citizens were half as mobilized about our own corruption scandals as Ukrainians are about theirs. Look at Schröder, Schwesig, MAGA grift… We must demand consequences too. Stop fighting corruption & democracy doesn’t just decline. It gets taken.

Financial consultants Deloitte conclude: the environmental damage done by Dutch agriculture (€18.6 billion/year) exceeds its total economic added value (€13.3 billion/year).
Emissions of greenhouse gases, nitrogen deposition, and
