It is unclear if Trump administration backs deal that would mean Kyiv giving up territory and slashing size of military

US and Russian officials have quietly drafted a new plan to end the war in Ukraine that would require Kyiv to surrender territory and severely limit the size of its military, it was reported on Wednesday as Russian drone and missile strikes killed at least 25 people in the city of Ternopil.

The draft plan, which was reportedly developed by Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, and the Kremlin adviser Kirill Dmitriev, would force draconian measures on Ukraine that would give Russia unprecedented control over the country’s military and political sovereignty. The plan is likely to be viewed as surrender in Kyiv.

      There’s an entire field of study called “History” and people are trained to do just that. YOU, specifically, want otherwise. Don’t project that on other people.

          History isn’t a living thing, it’s a concept. People within history may be biased, however.

              You mean to say that some people who write history are biased. History itself does not hold agency.

                History as we know it is a human concept. It is biased. The past isn’t, and most historians try to be as objective as possible, but as history is written by humans, it is biased
