"Final offer" from United States on peace deal

Lifting sanctions on Russia would allow it to restore its economy and soon resume aggression — both against Ukraine and the Baltic States.

Recognizing Crimea as Russian is essentially a repeat of the 1938 Munich Agreement, which led to World War II.

Proposals suggesting American control over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant or rare earth mineral deposits as security guarantees sound especially cynical when recalling how the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021. Where were the U.S. ambassador and embassy staff on February 24, 2022? In Poland. The diplomatic mission resumed limited operations only in March — and even then, staff would regularly leave the country overnight.

The threat of the U.S. walking away from negotiations only highlights that entering them was a mistake. You don't negotiate with terrorists. The only path forward is to pressure the aggressor, exhaust its resources, and dismantle its military-political infrastructure. The goal: the complete elimination of the terrorist regime.

Ukraine needs a full-scale lend-lease program from the U.S., financial and technological support from Europe, and the joint creation of a genuine regional security alliance — with the understanding that this alliance is made up not of partners, but of allies. There are simply no other right solutions!
