Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that presidential candidate Donald Trump is not going to persuade her to surrender.
Points of attention
- Trump's plan for Ukraine involves the creation of a "Lend-Lease" program.
- It is also about the country's accession to the EU and NATO, which should be extremely fast.
- If the conditions are met, the West is ready to lift sanctions against Russia and arm Ukraine for $100 billion.
- Pompeo believes that these steps will lead to the establishment of lasting peace in the region.
Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine. What is it about?
The Republican ally once again criticized the strategy of Joe Biden's team regarding Ukraine, and also complained that it led to the fact that the country was in ruins.
According to Mike Pompeo, the "success plan" that Trump plans to implement if he returns to the White House may consist of the following points:
Create a "lend-lease" program for Ukraine worth 500 billion dollars, which involves borrowing military aid, not free of charge.
Introduce real sanctions against Russia, in particular the cancellation of exemptions for Russian banks if their operations are related to the extraction of energy carriers, the most important source of income for the Kremlin's war machine.
Remove all restrictions on the types of weapons that Ukraine can obtain and use.
Increase the American defense industry and oblige NATO allies to spend at least 3% of GDP on defense.
Unlock America's energy potential, restore ties with Saudi Arabia and Israel, and work together against Iran.
Pompeo believes that Trump can "immediately" stop Russia's war against Ukraine
These steps will allow Mr. Trump to set the terms of the deal. The war ends immediately. Ukraine is building up significant defense forces so that Russia never attacks again. No one recognizes the Russian occupation and annexation of Ukrainian territories.

Moreover, Trump's ally began to claim that the demilitarization of Crimea should take place within the limits of this "peace plan", but he did not say anything about the liberation of the Ukrainian peninsula.
Also, the Republican team intends to begin the reconstruction of Ukraine at the expense of Russia's frozen assets. According to Pompeo, against the background of all this, Ukraine is joining NATO and the EU as quickly as possible, and the Alliance is creating a fund for arming Kyiv worth 100 billion dollars, in which the share of the United States is 20%.
If Russia fulfills these conditions, the West will gradually lift the sanctions. They will be completely removed as soon as Ukraine becomes a member of NATO and the EU. These steps, not the half-measures of the Biden administration, will end the war, establish a lasting peace, provide Europe with the burden of maintaining it, and restore freedom and security to the continent, Pompeo said.
