The Ukrainian “peace plan” from President Donald Trump is nothing but a reward to Russia’s Vladimir Putin for his aggression in Ukraine.

As Americans, we should support the Ukrainian people and despise the reign of Putin. We should encourage the Senate and Congress to provide more financial support for Ukraine and arm the Ukraine military with what it needs to defend itself and provide postwar protection and support.

The Trump “peace plan” is a preposterous one-way proposal and puts our ally, Ukraine, in a difficult position. Let’s up our commitment to Ukraine and provide a counterproposal that puts pressure on Russia, not Ukraine, to negotiate and end this aggression.
