The American Party has announced a comprehensive strategy to address the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, proposing a shift from current diplomatic efforts to a Senate-led approach combined with enhanced security measures. The plan emerges amid continued military stalemate and failed diplomatic initiatives, with recent attacks in Kyiv resulting in significant civilian casualties.
The party's analysis draws historical parallels to the 1938 annexation of Czechoslovakia, noting that Russia's stated justifications for invasion—protection of Russian speakers—have been disproven by investigations from the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and other international bodies. The conflict fundamentally stems from Russia's refusal to accept Ukrainian sovereignty, violating multiple international agreements including the 1994 Budapest Memorandum where Russia pledged to respect Ukraine's borders.
The proposed 'Plan B' consists of three phases. Phase 1 calls for the Trump-Vance administration to appoint a bipartisan Senate Select committee to negotiate with Ukrainian leaders, European partners, and Russian ministerial-level delegates. This approach would empower Senators from both parties while ensuring presidential oversight, potentially involving members of the Senate's Ukraine Caucus as capable interlocutors.
Phase 2 involves multiple concurrent actions: building international consensus through engagement with the G20 and other nations, refusing to compartmentalize discussions with Russia while hostilities continue, and initiating legislative action to restrict foreign property purchases. The party emphasizes that Russia remains designated as a strategic competitor in U.S. national security documents.
Phase 3 centers on security implementation through the European SkyShield Initiative, a ground-based, multi-layered air defense network involving approximately 24 nations. The proposal calls for deployment beginning in western Ukraine, with scheduled expansion to central and northern regions, providing security guarantees while limiting conflict to eastern Ukraine and Crimea. The party asserts escalation risk is low as the system would only intercept drones and missiles without engaging Russian aircraft.
The American Party, describing itself as a pragmatic populist organization free from ideological constraints, maintains that Russia should have no veto power over peace initiatives given its history of misrepresented intentions leading up to the 2022 invasion. The party's approach emphasizes continued discussions with Russia but designates the Senate Select Committee as primary interlocutors while supporting European nations in deploying defensive systems.
