Germany calls Trump's plan for the submission of Ukrainian country to Russia surrender

CNN reported on Sunday that the handover of large area claims from Ukraine to Russia as part of a peace proposal by US President Donald Trump was regarded as a "surrender". Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius commented when North Korea announced for the first time that there were troops to support Russia in conflict with Ukraine.

The reactions to the peace proposal

Ukraine was aware that she might have to hand in some areas for permanent ceasefire. "But they shouldn't go as far as the latest proposal by the American President provides," said Defense Minister Pistorius on German radio. He added: "Ukraine could have reached what is included in the Trump proposal a year ago.

Trump is frustrated that his efforts to convey a peace treaty between Moscow and Kiev have so far failed. From the White House there is an increasingly urgent urge to reach an agreement.

the USA's peace plan

The United States' Peace Plan provides for a recognition of Russian control over the Crimea, which Moscow illegally annexed more than a decade ago. In addition, Russia would allegedly receive additional Ukrainian areas that have been occupied in 2022 since the beginning of its large -scale attack. However, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj admitted on Saturday that Ukraine was not able to violently recapture the Crimea, and made it clear that territorial concessions are a red line. The recognition of the Crimea as Russian would also be illegal in accordance with the Ukrainian constitution.

Selenskyj's attitude in conflict

"This [territory] does not belong to me, it belongs to the Ukrainian people," said Selenskyj at a press conference on Friday.

After a remarkable meeting of Trump and Selenskyj in the Vatican before Pope Francis' funeral on Saturday, the US President said they had briefly discussed the Crimea and that he believes that Selenskyj "wants to make a deal".

Trump also criticized President Vladimir Putin in some of his sharpest comments so far against the Russian leader. "I want him to stop shooting, sit down and sign a contract," said Trump on Sunday when he returned to Washington. And further: "We have the framework of a deal, and I want him to sign it and are ready to simply return to life."

The role of North Korea in conflict

On Monday, North Korea confirmed for the first time that they sent troops to support Russia in the war against Ukraine and browned with the contributions of his combat units for the "valuable victory" in the competitive Kursk region. The Operation for the “Liberation of the Course Area” was successfully completed, the North Korean military commission said according to the State News Agency KCNA.

Putin claimed on Saturday that the Russian armed forces had recaptured Kursk, where Ukraine launched a surprising offensive last year, while Kiev emphasized that his troops are fighting violently to keep their point of view.

reactions to North Korea's troops

Although according to reports about 12,000 North Korean soldiers were sent to battle, Pyongyang had never confirmed their presence. The Military Commission of North Korea said that Fiihrer Kim Jong and ordered the missions based on a strategic partnership agreement with Russia.

Putin and Kim had signed a pioneering defense pact in Pyongyang and promised to provide immediate military support in the event of the other's attack. "Those who fought for justice are all heroes and representatives of the honor of home," said Kim. It was also announced to build a monument to honor the procedure of his troops.

The US State Department expressed concern about the direct participation of North Korea in the war in Ukraine and called for an end to military posting to Russia. "North Korea's military missions in Russia and any support that the Russian Federation in return to North Korea must be ended," said a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry.

international reactions to North Korea's commitment

The South Korean Ministry of Defense said that North Korea had "effectively admitted its criminal acts" with the official announcement of the posting. "The involvement of North Korea in the Ukraine conflict is a violation of UN resolutions and an illegal act that threatens world peace," added the ministry.

North Korea's confirmation of his military commitment in Russia reflects the years of Dementis Putin when Russian troops were sent to Crimea in 2014. The heyday of this crisis began immediately after the mass protests in Ukraine, which plunged the Russian -supported regime of Viktor Janukovytsch.
