On Sunday, CNN reported that Trump’s team was allegedly planning for a phone call with Moscow, which, the network’s sources claimed, could take place shortly after the inauguration. US media outlets have recently reported that Trump’s team is mulling a peace plan for Ukraine which could include a ceasefire along the current front lines and the creation of an 800-mile (1,300-kilometer) demilitarized zone patrolled by European troops.

Trump's promised of ending the Ukraine War on the first day in office did not play out. Everyone knows that this is impossible given the complexity of the war. Still Trump is working on it. The war is likely to end but on Trump's term which is not much difference from what President Blinken wanted, NATO forces on Russian border, including deployment of nuclear weapons.
A DMZ dividing Ukraine would mean NATO has moved into half of Ukraine instead of the whole of Ukraine. It means that NATO has advanced into half of Ukraine. And NATO's troops would be on the border of the now new border of Russia in Ukraine.
Would Putin not see through the ruse and let NATO into Ukraine just for peace? No way. This proposal is as good as Russia conceding half of Ukraine to NATO. The plan is a no go from the start. No NATO forces in Ukraine. Ukraine must remain neutral and not be under the control of NATO. Period.
The American plan is like wanting 50% of TikTok ownership which China would not allow it. In TikTok's case, it is a commercial deal, and China may concede selling a small percentage to the Americans, definitely not 50%.
Ukraine is a national security threat to Russia and cannot be compromised. Putin would not allow the American Empire to be at his doorstep.
