A Korean War Ending For the Ukraine War?

An Armistice and DMZ: The Best Idea to Keep the Peace in Ukraine and Russia—Former President Donald Trump has often said he would immediately work to end the war in Ukraine, repeatedly claiming that he could find a way to end hostilities in as little as 24 hours. He has amended that quick turnaround by saying that he would help both sides create a ceasefire before his inauguration day if he gets elected in November.

However, Trump had never offered details on what his peace plan would look like.

That all changed when running mate J.D. Vance appeared on the Shawn Ryan Show at the end of last week and gave some flesh to the bones of a peace plan. You hear it above.

What would the plan exactly look like?
Time for a Demilitarized Zone

“So, I think what this looks like is Trump sits down, he says to the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Europeans ‘You guys need to figure out what does a peaceful settlement look like?’” Vance told Ryan. “And what it probably looks like is the current line of demarcation between Russia and Ukraine, that becomes like a demilitarized zone.”
