Former national security adviser John Bolton ripped President Trump’s 28-point proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine war, arguing the plan was written from “the Russian point of view.”
The Russians “couldn’t have written a better treaty themselves,” Bolton said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “On Balance with Leland Vittert” on Friday. “I think it’s selling out Ukraine. And I think for everybody over the past year who said, ‘Hey, Trump’s come around, he’s going to support Ukraine.’ I don’t know how many times it has to be proven. He doesn’t care about Ukraine.
“What he wants is a deal, and it’s part of the quest for the Nobel Peace Prize,” he added.
The peace plan, which was first reported by Axios, quietly negotiated between the Trump administration and Moscow earlier this week includes a provision that would place the regions of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk under “de facto” Russian control to be recognized by the U.S., among other likely nonstarters for Ukraine. There are also no major concessions required from Russia, apart from directing $100 billion in frozen Russian assets to Ukraine’s reconstruction.
