Part 2/7:
Retired four-star General Jack Keane provided insights into a possible deal being considered to bring peace to the region. The United States has drawn up a proposal and shared it with Ukrainian leadership for consideration. Key figures, including members of the U.S. delegation and representatives from the UK, Germany, and France, are expected to meet to discuss the proposal further.
Core Components of the Proposal
While the specifics of the deal have yet to be fully disclosed, leaks and reports suggest several critical components:
Recognition of Crimea: Ukraine may be asked to recognize Crimea as not just occupied but owned by Russia.
No Territorial Expansion: Russia would retain control over occupied territories but would not gain any additional land.
