The media has learned that US President-elect Donald Trump has three plans to resolve the situation in Ukraine.
The politician is currently considering each of them.
This was reported by Reuters, noting that one of these plans was proposed by James David Vance, whom Trump appointed as the country's vice president.
The future White House occupant is also studying an option submitted for consideration by Keith Kellogg, the man Trump sees as his assistant and special envoy on the Russian-Ukrainian standoff.
The third plan was authored by former acting US Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.
Demilitarized Zone and NATO
Reuters does not report what exactly Vance and Grenell are proposing, however, as TASS writes , it recalls that the former spoke out against military aid to Kiev and its membership in NATO.
At the same time, Vance proposed creating a demilitarized zone on the border with Russia.
According to his plan, Washington should strengthen this zone in order to prevent a new advance of Russian troops.
Grenell also thinks that Ukraine's accession to NATO is not in his country's interests.
However, he is a supporter of the idea of creating “autonomous zones in eastern Ukraine.”
Military aid
But Kellogg's plan (the only one of the three whose details are known to Reuters) initiates an increase in the volume of aid to Kyiv if Moscow does not agree to negotiations.
But such a proposal, Reuters notes, could spark a backlash in Congress, as “some of Trump’s closest allies oppose additional military aid to Ukraine.”
In turn, the former chief specialist on Russia in the US National Intelligence Council, Eugene Rumer, told the agency the following:
I don't think anyone has any realistic plan to end the conflict.
