DONALD Trump's reported plan to end the Ukraine war has emerged after Zelensky held a call congratulating the president-elect.
-snip-
Trump would freeze the conflict in place and establish a demilitarised zone down the locked front line, the Wall Street Journal now reports.
Kyiv would not join Nato for 20 years, but the US would continue to arm Ukraine to the teeth to prevent Putin from invading again.
Who would police the demilitarised zone remains unclear, according to the sources, but it wouldn't involve American troops or an international body.

"We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Get the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it."
It remains unclear if the Ukrainians approve of the plan - but Zelenksy has already spoken to the president-elect.
Zelensky wrote on Telegram that he had an "excellent" call with Trump and congratulated him on his landslide victory.
The Ukrainian said: "Strong and unwavering US leadership is vital for the world and for a just peace."
Trump's man in Ukraine said the newly elected Republican will tell Vlad to "stop the war", the Independent reports.
Kurt Volkner, who was Trump's special representative for Ukraine between 2017 and 2019, said Trump will immediately push for peace.
He said Trump is "going to make a phone call to Putin as quickly as possible and tell Putin that he needs to stop the war, that the fighting has to stop, and that there has to be peace."
