Ukrainian officials first floated renaming part of the Donbas region that Russia wants control over to “Donnyland” as part of an effort to get the Trump Administration to take a harder line against Russia’s territorial demands, people familiar with the monthslong negotiations told the New York Times.
Trump, who pledged in his presidential campaign to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours, has attempted to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine for months now to no avail. It was as the President appeared to be taking a soft approach to Russia, repeatedly criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and attempting to pressure him to accept a peace deal that involved significant Ukrainian concessions, that the idea for “Donnyland” was discussed.
Neither side has endorsed any of these proposals. The idea for “Donnyland” has also only come up in discussions, not in any written proposals. Still, a Ukrainian negotiator has taken the idea as far as making a ChatGPT-generated green and gold-colored flag and national anthem for “Donnyland,” according to the Times. It is not clear whether U.S. officials have seen the designs.
If it comes to be, “Donnyland” would not be the first time a foreign country has tried to name something after Trump.
Aimed at bolstering NATO’s eastern flank and deterring potential Russian aggression, Duda first publicly presented “Fort Trump”—which had been discussed by Polish officials for months before—during his visit to Washington in September 2018. Trump said at the time that Duda “offered us much more than $2 billion to do this, and so we’re looking at it.”
‘Trump Heights’
In March 2019, Trump broke with longstanding U.S. policy and became the first world leader to formally recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria during the Six-Day War in June 1967 and later annexed the territory in 1981. Most of the world, including the United Nations, still consider the Golan Heights to be occupied Syrian territory.

The settlement, which had just around two dozen families living there in 2024, is marked by a sign bearing the U.S. and Israeli flags. Israel’s government announced in December 2024 plans to invest $11 million to double the Israeli population in the Golan Heights.

The agreement, brokered by Trump and signed at the White House, outlined a new transit route through southern Armenia linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave and allowing for transit from Europe to Central Asia bypassing Russia and Iran. The route, which the U.S. has exclusive development rights over for 99 years, was named the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP).
