Editorial: El País

• Trump's peace plan for Ukraine is a failure, with consequences for the local population, Europe, and international law.
• Noticeable shifts in the historical alliance between the U.S and the EU; Trump now leans towards Putin's regime.
• Aggressive stances by Trump damage diplomatic efforts by European and Ukrainian leaders.
• Trump's plan for Ukraine has disadvantaged the country by surrendering all the negotiating advantages to Russia.
• Putin gets everything he wants: Ukraine is kept out of NATO, Russia annexes the occupied provinces, and no U.S. soldiers will be stationed in Ukraine.
• A shared resource mining agreement is proposed between Ukraine and Russia.
• Should U.S. policy not shift, Europe will need to provide the assurance Ukraine needs, no matter the cost or risk.

Conclusion: President Trump has left Ukraine and Europe in a vulnerable position vis-à-vis Russia, potentially upending the international order.
