Zelensky faced with a fait accompli?

Sources told Politico that a potential plan agreed with Russia could be presented to Ukraine as a fait accompli.The White House is on the verge of announcing a &ldquo;major new peace deal&rdquo; with Russia that, officials claim, will finally end the three-year war with Ukraine.A senior White House official said they expect all sides to agree on a framework for ending hostilities by the end of this month &mdash; and possibly &ldquo;as early as this week.&rdquo;Earlier, Axios revealed details of a secret peace plan negotiated directly between the White House and Moscow.According to Axios, Trump&rsquo;s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, held three days of talks late last month in Miami with Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev, and the 28-point peace plan is now on the table.On Tuesday night, representatives of the Trump administration told Politico they were on the verge of a major breakthrough.&ldquo;This new peace plan, it seems, did not have direct input from Ukraine nor from America&rsquo;s European allies. And we still have no idea about the details &mdash; about what was agreed concerning the thorniest issues such as Russia&rsquo;s occupation of large parts of Ukrainian territory, the abduction of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, or what security guarantees are being offered to Ukraine afterward,&rdquo; the Brussels-based portal writes.However, it notes that &ldquo;the mood inside the White House is optimistic, and it seems the plan will be presented to Zelensky as a fait accompli.&rdquo;&ldquo;What we will present to Ukraine is reasonable,&rdquo; a senior White House official told Politico.The Trump administration believes that Zelensky, who is under pressure both on the battlefield and at home (including due to a corruption scandal), will be forced to accept what is being offered.President Volodymyr Zelensky met today in Turkey with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, where they announced they would discuss a &ldquo;just peace.&rdquo;
