Ukraine out of Donetsk/Luhansk which would be surrendering a huge amount of territory still available, in exchange for Russia leaving the tiny parts of Sumy and Kharkiv they currently occupy which are basically just steps over the border, a totally fair exchange /s.
Ukraine leaving Donetsk/Luhansk also means Russia will jump over Ukraine's heavily fortified lines which Trump is too stupid to understand would be a massive strategic mistake because it gives Russia opportunity to then break their bullshit promise immediately and launch a new invasion from beyond Ukraine's fortification lines in another rush style attack.
Russia keeps Kherson and half of Zaporizhzhia and Crimea is officially recognised as Russian so Ukraine can never retake it, Ukraine only gets back the tiny parts of Sumy/Kharkiv that Russia currently occupies. Basically Russia gets 20%+ of Ukraine and Ukraine in returns gets back less than 1%.
Russia gets sanctions relief.
Ukraine gets no security agreements except a vague promise from Russia to not attack again in the future despite the fact they already had that in writing and Russia ignored it. If Russia truly has no intention of attacking again in the future then they should have no issue with Ukraine joining NATO but they do, so they don't want Ukraine in NATO.
Russia Church protections, the Russian Church is well known as just a cover up for Russia's Government.
There is not a single thing in this agreement that is beneficial to Ukraine, it's a total American enforced surrender to Russia.
