Trump plans to sign peace deal between Ukraine and Russia at his golf club

US President Donald Trump is considering the possibility of signing a peace deal between Ukraine and the Russian Federation as early as December. According to The Atlantic, the American leader is discussing the option of holding a solemn ceremony on the grounds of his own golf club, located in Miami.

Visualising a historic moment

Sources note that Trump’s advisers describe his vision for the future event. The US President imagines himself at the centre of the composition, standing between the leaders of Ukraine and Russia during the signing of the documents. According to the article, to realise this scenario, the American president may resort to pressure on Ukraine.

«За словами радників, президент уявляє, як він стоїть між Путіним і Зеленським у момент підписання ними мирної угоди, навіть якщо для цього йому доведеться застосувати тиск на Україну. Це історична подія, якщо вона відбудеться, пройде на одному з об’єктів, що належать самому Трампу» (According to advisers, the president imagines himself standing between Putin and Zelenskyy at the moment they sign the peace deal, even if he has to apply pressure to Ukraine to make it happen. It is a historic event, and if it takes place, it will be held at one of the properties owned by Trump himself), The Atlantic material states.

Context of international meetings

Prior to a possible signing ceremony in December, a meeting between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President Xi Jinping may take place in China in November. The Atlantic adds that Trump is “captivated by the idea” of dividing the world into spheres of influence between the US, Russia, and China.

Ukrainian side’s position

Some members of the American president’s entourage support this approach. It is noted that they treat Ukraine with contempt, calling the country a corrupt province devoid of autonomy.

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian official stated that Kyiv feels sidelined from the decision-making process that will determine the country’s future. As he noted: «Схоже, все це відбувається без нас» (It seems all of this is happening without us).
