Russia outlines twoside truces for Ukraine conflict
Russian negotiators have suggested two distinct options for a cessation of hostilities, as reported by state-owned Russian media. However, these proposals appear to clash significantly with Ukraine's suggestions.
Ukraine's Proposed Ceasefire:1. Kyiv demands an unconditional 30-day truce [2] as the first step towards genuine peace talks with Moscow.2. As part of the agreement, Ukraine is open to discussions on further steps, including prisoner exchanges and humanitarian measures, such as returning abducted children and releases of civilians held captive [2].
Russia's Proposed Ceasefire:1. Moscow proposes a temporary two-to-three-day ceasefire only in specific sectors along the front line. Such a break in fighting is meant to enable commanders from both warring parties to recover the remains of fallen soldiers [1][3].2. Russia expects Ukraine to negotiate a broader agreement that includes Ukraine's withdrawal of troops from several disputed regions (Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts) within 30 days, and ending hostilities along the current front line [1][3].3. Additionally, Moscow proposes a handover of power in Ukraine by means of new elections, which is widely seen as a veiled call for regime change [1].4. Russian officials assert that any lasting solution to the conflict should address its perceived root causes, such as NATO expansion and the alleged discrimination against Russian speakers [1].
Due to these stark differences, the prospects for a swift resolution to the conflict remain uncertain. The increasingly complex political landscape, fueled by conflicting demands, geopolitical pressure, and military aggression, continues to plunge Ukraine into chaos.
