The mask has finally slipped, and the “Peace of our Time” looks a lot like a funeral for Ukrainian sovereignty. On Monday, December 22, 2025, the geopolitical landscape fractured as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a blistering rejection of the Trump-backed “28-Point Roadmap.” In a move that has sent shockwaves from the bunkers in Kyiv to the halls of Mar-a-Lago, Zelenskyy declared that Ukraine has “no right to give anything away,” effectively calling Trump’s bluff on a forced surrender disguised as a “pragmatic” ceasefire.
While President Trump continues to dismiss Zelenskyy as “losing” and “disappointing,” the reality is far more brutal. The proposed deal doesn’t just ask for a ceasefire—it demands the total withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the strategic Western Donbas and the creation of a “Free Economic Zone” that smells like a Russian occupation in everything but name. Zelenskyy’s defiance isn’t just about pride; it’s a desperate stand against a plan that would hand the keys of Central Europe to the Kremlin.
The “Rage Trigger” Section: The Controversy Everyone is Ignoring
The “Hard Truth”: This isn’t a “Deal,” it’s a Dismantling. The mainstream media is painting this as a clash of personalities, but here is the shock factor they are burying: The Trump-Witkoff-Kushner plan reportedly requires Ukraine to halve its military and surrender long-range weaponry while receiving “security guarantees” that are essentially a pinky-promise with no NATO backing.
The real scandal? Trump’s team reportedly consulted with Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, in Miami to draft this roadmap before showing it to Ukraine or the EU. This is “America First” by way of “Moscow First.” By demanding Ukraine disarm while Russian troops remain entrenched, the deal creates a “death trap” where a third invasion isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable. Trump is betting on the “massive size” of Russia winning, but he’s ignoring the fact that he’s asking a sovereign nation to commit geopolitical seppuku.
Deep Background: The “Miami Roadmap” and the Alaskan Shadow
The “dirty history” of this deal stretches back to a secret August summit in Alaska between Trump and Putin. Since then, the pressure has been relentless. The administration has weaponized the “extremely difficult winter” and the destruction of Ukraine’s energy grid to force a signature.
The deal’s most “toxic” point? The Western Donbas Withdrawal. Trump wants Ukraine to leave cities like Kramatorsk and Pokrovsk—fortresses where thousands have died—to create a “buffer zone.” Historically, every time Ukraine has pulled back (think 2014 or 2015), Russia has filled the vacuum. This isn’t a peace plan; it’s a reloading period for the Russian war machine.
The Cold Hard Truth from the Insiders
“He’s gonna have to get on the ball,” Trump sneered. But the “Hard Truth” from the ground in Kyiv? If Zelenskyy signs this, his own people might be the ones to remove him. Recent polling shows 75% of Ukrainians reject major territorial concessions.
Insiders suggest Zelenskyy’s talk of a “referendum” is a brilliant survival move. He knows the public will vote “No,” giving him the moral and legal cover to tell Trump: “I can’t sign it; my people won’t let me.” Trump thinks he’s negotiating with a CEO, but he’s actually fighting against the collective will of a nation that would rather fight in the dark than live in a Russian cage.
