Ukraine's demand for 800,000 troops post war illogical? Not Russia, Zelensky hinders own goals. . .

U.S. President Donald Trump’s 28-point peace plan has sparked controversy by proposing a cap on Ukraine’s military capabilities, with a suggested limit of 600,000 troops. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has opposed the restriction, calling it unjustified as Ukraine continues to defend itself from Russian aggression. European leaders have reportedly offered a counterproposal to raise the cap to 800,000 troops. Experts note that Ukraine’s post-war army could still end up smaller due to economic constraints, highlighting the delicate balance between security needs and diplomatic negotiations.
