Russia's acceptance is uncertain
Ukraine has released a peace plan, prepared together with the United States, that includes NATO-style collective defense guarantees and European Union (EU) accession. However, it is uncertain whether Russia will accept it. Moreover, jurisdiction over the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine — the biggest sticking point of ending the war — has not been properly agreed upon by Russia, Ukraine, or the United States, so negotiations are not expected to be easily concluded in the short term.
The Office of the President of Ukraine on the 24th (local time) announced the latest 20-point peace plan, jointly consulted with the United States. The day before, Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference, "We have presented a draft to Russia and are waiting for a response." This peace plan is based on the content coordinated by Ukrainian and U.S. delegations last week in Florida. The plan includes NATO-style collective defense guarantees for Ukraine, Ukraine's accession to the European Union (EU), maintaining 800,000 Ukrainian troops, and the creation of an $800 billion postwar reconstruction fund.
But territorial issues remain the core contention. That day Ukraine said it would agree to make the area a demilitarized zone and a special economic zone if Ukrainian and Russian forces withdraw simultaneously from Donetsk in the Donbas region.
President Zelensky said the demilitarized zone arrangement is a way to compromise between Russia, which demands the full cession of the Donbas region, and Ukraine, which does not want to give up territory. He emphasized, "Areas from which Ukrainian forces have withdrawn would be special economic zones, so the (Ukrainian) administration and police would have jurisdiction."
The Kremlin said that President Vladimir Putin had been briefed on the peace discussions by a Russian envoy who had gone to Florida. Bloomberg, citing sources, reported, "Russia will demand changes that include more restrictions on the Ukrainian military."
