Boris Pistorius, the German Defense Minister, expressed strong opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal for Ukraine. Trump's plan suggests that Ukraine cede significant territory to achieve a ceasefire with Russia, a notion Pistorius equates to 'capitulation'.
Pistorius made these remarks on a German public broadcaster ARD, emphasizing that Kyiv understands it might have to let go of some land for a meaningful and good-faith ceasefire agreement.
However, Pistorius believes Ukraine should reject Trump's proposal as the terms offered could have been obtained a year ago without added benefits, affirming his stance likely as part of the new German coalition government.
