Part 11/15:
Amidst ongoing military stalemates, Russia proposed a detailed 28-point peace plan, crafted by Putin’s negotiator Kirill Dmitriev and diplomat Steve Witkoff. The proposal suggests Ukraine withdraw from unoccupied Donbas, demilitarize that zone, and freeze the current frontlines.
Key Provisions and Obstacles
Territorial concessions: Ukraine would surrender parts of Donbas and forego NATO aspirations, capping its military at 600,000 troops.
Security guarantees and reconstruction: Ukraine would receive financial support for rebuilding—funds from frozen Russian assets, with the U.S. and Europe supporting post-war recovery.
Energy sharing: Control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant’s electricity would be shared equally.
