Trump’s Alleged Russia-Friendly Peace Plan: Echoes of Putin’s Agenda
A leaked peace proposal drafted by the US and Russia shows evidence of having been influenced by Russian language. Journalist Luke Harding pointed out that the passive construction “it is expected” in the third clause, along with other word choices like “ambiguities” and “enshrine,” sound more natural when translated directly from Russian. Furthermore, the use of “the new territory” to describe occupied regions of Ukraine also supports this claim. The settlement, which was reportedly drafted in secret talks, has been met with criticism from Kyiv and its allies, who view it as a concession to Moscow’s demands.
