President Trump has publicly supported Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal for Russia to take full control of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. The move comes after a meeting between the two leaders in Alaska, where they discussed the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The ceasefire and peace deal negotiated between the two leaders have been met with skepticism by some, including Senator Marco Rubio, who has shot down reports of Trump backing Putin's plan. However, the White House has confirmed that Trump is supportive of Putin's proposal to resolve the conflict in the region.
Critics worry that giving Russia full control over the Donbas region could further destabilize the region and worsen the humanitarian crisis. The conflict in Ukraine has already claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions of people.
Trump's endorsement of Putin's plan has sparked a debate among lawmakers and political analysts about the best course of action for the United States in relation to Russia and Ukraine. The situation remains tense as world leaders await further developments in the region.
