Why has Russia rejected Trump’s Ukraine truce plan?

Al Jazeera  

Vladimir Putin and top Russian diplomat Sergey Lavrov have said a deferral in Ukraine’s NATO entry won’t be enough. Russia has trashed a plan pitched by US President-elect Donald Trump’s team to end the Russia-Ukraine war by deferring Kyiv’s NATO membership in exchange for a ceasefire, according to Russian state-owned media. Here is what we know: On November 6, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump’s plans for a truce in Ukraine involve delaying Kyiv’s NATO membership by 20 years, citing three sources close to Trump. At his annual press interaction on December 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected the idea that a deferral in Ukraine’s membership of NATO would be satisfactory enough for Moscow. Putin said while he does not know specifics of Trump’s plan, current President Joe Biden made a similar suggestion back in 2021, to defer Ukraine’s admission by 10 to 15 years.
