Trump's new Ukraine proposal looks like an offer that must be refused.

Trump's deal gives the U.S. control over Ukraine's natural resources and infrastructure. Kyiv is likely to reject it, as it lacks security guarantees and risks Ukraine's economic sovereignty.

The 55-page draft, viewed by the WSJ, seeks to recoup the $350 billion Trump claims the U.S. has spent on Ukraine - far above Kyiv's estimate of $100 billion - through economic leverage.

The deal involves a "United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund" in Delaware and is structured like a commercial contract, not an international agreement.

Former Economy Minister Tymofiy Mylovanov says the deal would conflict with international aid from the EU and IMF and is unlikely to pass in Ukraine's parliament.

A growing alliance of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea-dubbed CRINK-is challenging U.S. power through military, economic, and diplomatic cooperation.

• CRINK's history includes Russia and Iran's alliance in Syria, China's support for North Korea, and strengthened ties between Beijing and Moscow over time.
• Trump pursuing a cease-fire in Ukraine might weaken the bloc, but failure could deepen CRINK's ties.
• As the world's second-largest economy, China anchors CRINK, absorbing most of Iran's oil and shaping North Korea's foreign trade.
• The bloc cooperates to evade sanctions and share resources, and make coordinated efforts to sidestep Western controls.

Former U.S. intelligence official Christopher Chivvis urges vigilance against further institutionalization of the CRINK alliance.
