(JHC from NYT) Trump told European leaders he believed a rapid peace deal could be negotiated if Zelensky agreed to give up the REST OF THE DONBAS REGION TO RUSSIA, EVEN THOSE AREAS NOT OCCUPIED BY RUSSIAN TROOPS, according to 2 senior European officials briefed on the call.
In return, Mr. Putin offered a cease-fire in the rest of Ukraine at CURRENT BATTLEFIELD LINES and a written promise not to attack Ukraine or any European country again . . . He has broken similar promises before. #ukraine
