Europe Sees a Trojan Horse for Russia in Trump’s Ukraine Plan

The article discusses European concerns about a potential US-brokered peace deal in Ukraine, which they fear could be exploited by Russia. European officials are worried that the deal could lead to a re-invasion of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, which has been embroiled in a conflict since 2014. The article suggests that the proposed peace plan, which is being pushed by the Trump administration, could serve as a "Trojan horse" for Russia, allowing it to gain a foothold in Ukraine and potentially undermine the country's sovereignty. European leaders are reportedly skeptical of the plan and are monitoring the situation closely. The article highlights the ongoing tensions between Europe and the US over the handling of the Ukraine crisis, as well as the broader geopolitical implications of the conflict in the region.
