Michael Cohen

Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, offered to deliver to the administration a pro-Russian peace plan for Ukraine at a time when questions were being raised about Trump's ties to Moscow, a Ukrainian lawmaker has told CNN.

Andrii Artemenko said that he discussed the proposal in January with Cohen.

Cohen told CNN in a text message that although he had dinner with Artemenko, they never discussed peace in Ukraine. The White House has flatly denied any knowledge of the proposal.

The exact details of the plan are unclear, yet reports have suggested it revolves around leasing Crimea -- annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014 -- to Moscow for 50 to 100 years. In exchange, Russia would withdraw its troops from the separatist regions in Ukraine's war-torn east.

Artemenko says Cohen, who has long advised Trump, wanted to take the plan to Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser. Ref. CNN

This could be a very interesting development if there is any truth to it. To see part of the war torn Ukraine being peaceful again will help people over there rebuild and have a much better life. I do not know a lot about Mr. Cohen but if he can offer peace to part of the world then it could be a good thing.
