A recent article in the Wall Street Journal co-authored by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo presents a Trump-backed peace plan for Ukraine that includes supporting the country through various means. Despite the comprehensive plan outlined, it contradicts Trump’s previous statements and raises questions about the ties between those involved and Russian oligarchs.
The plan suggests that Trump would boost Ukraine by driving down energy prices, strengthening alliances, providing financial support, and allowing the country to use US weapons against Russia without restrictions. However, Trump has never expressed similar intentions or strategies concerning Ukraine, as he previously mentioned ending the war in a day once in office.
The authors of the WSJ article have connections to Russian oligarchs, raising eyebrows about the motivations behind the proposed plan. The BGR Group, headed by Pompeo’s co-author, lobbied for sanctioned Russian oligarchs in the past, hinting at a possible hidden agenda. With rumors of Russian support for Trump circulating, the link between pro-Trump sentiments and oligarch interests becomes more apparent.
As the debate continues, it remains unclear how Pompeo’s plan aligns with Trump’s actions towards Ukraine or if there are underlying motives driving these proposals.
