Die Ukraine schlägt vor, „Donnyland“ zu schaffen, um Trump zufrieden zu stellen

**From The Telegraph:**

Ukrainian officials pitched naming part of its Donbas region “Donnyland” in an effort to court Donald Trump.

The proposed enclave, about three to four times the size of Greater London, was to be framed as an accomplishment to sway the US president towards tilting his support away from Moscow, according to The New York Times.

One Ukrainian negotiator reportedly even used ChatGPT to draft a national anthem and a green-and-gold flag for the imagined mini-state.

The concept, while never formalised in official documents, surfaced repeatedly in talks. Pitched partly tongue-in-cheek, Kyiv’s negotiators believed that attaching Mr Trump’s name to a patch of territory might nudge his camp to push back against Moscow’s sweeping territorial demands.

With an area of roughly 40 by 50 miles, “Donnyland” would be twice the area of the Lake District and up to four times larger than Greater London, making it significantly bigger than existing demilitarised zones.

Negotiators also pitched an alternative postwar setup known as the “Monaco model”, after the city-state on the French Mediterranean. Like Monaco, it imagined a compact, partially self-governing entity which could derive advantages from operating as an offshore economic zone.

They floated the possibility of the US president’s Board of Peace, established to oversee the Gaza peace plan, playing a role in administering the zone.

The Trump administration has faced criticism for what many perceive as a tilt towards Moscow. It has appeared to attribute responsibility to Ukraine for the full-scale war, sharply reduced military aid to the war-torn country and pressed Kyiv to concede to Moscow’s maximalist terms.

Not a good idea to poke at a bear

Don’t do it. There is not satisfying Trump. Once you take the knee, he will shove it deeper down your throat. Stand strong and stand firm. The world is rooting for you. Russia is running out of firepower. They cannot keep going like this for very long now.

The year is 2036. President Donald Trump Jr. launches a special military operation to invade Ukraine, claiming to combat the forces of European liberalism and to protect the residents of Donnyland from globohomo oppression.
