US President Donald Trump commented on the possibility of a future Russian attack on the Baltic countries. Russia is not looking for a new war, he said in a radio interview with Fox News.
When asked about the 28-point US peace plan, the President said that the US is only interested in one thing: to stop the killings.
In addition, Trump said that Russia will be stopped and will not pose a threat to the Baltics or other parts of Europe in the future.
"He is not looking for more war. He’s taking punishment," Trump said.
Trump said that he does not intend to lift sanctions on Russia, including those targeting its oil companies such as Lukoil. He announced new, even stricter restrictions, saying they will be introduced soon.
US peace plan
The US peace plan was developed by President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, with the support of Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev. The document contains 28 points.
Russians were likely involved in drafting the plan, as some unusual phrases in the document suggest that parts may have originally been written in Russian, according to Western media.
The plan envisions handing over part of the Donbas territory to Russia in exchange for long-term security guarantees for Ukraine and the EU, reduction of the Ukrainian army, renunciation of long-range weapons, and other measures.
On November 21, Sky News sources reported that Zelenskyy and Trump will hold a phone call about the plan next week.
