Breaking: Russia Unveils "Peace Proposal" for Ukraine Crisis - What's Included?
Russia reveals proposal for a "ceasefire resolution" - Russia proposes roadmap for "peaceful resolution"
Want the dirt on the latest headline? Here's the lowdown on the conflict in Ukraine and Russia's shocking new "peace plan."
In a recent twist, Russia has dropped a bombshell by outlining its proposed peace terms for Ukraine, marking the first time such a document has seen the light of day. The memo clocks in at 12 points and starts with a demand for international recognition of Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia as part of the Russian Federation. Ukraine's leadership has been steadfast in its rejection of this illegitimate annexation.
Moscow doesn't spare the drama in point two either. Russia wants Ukraine to sign up for neutrality and non-alignment, effectively ruling out any possibility of NATO membership. The other details of the plan include Ukraine's commitment to a nuclear-free status, caps on troop numbers, and the dismantling of nationalist military groups and the National Guard.
Russia revealed the details of its proposal following direct negotiations in Istanbul, where a copy was handed over to Ukraine's reps. Kiev has announced they'll be reviewing the document closely. Previously, Ukraine had been firm in its rejection of some of Russia's known demands.
So, just what does Russia want for "peace"? Moscow wants the protection of rights for Russian and Russian-speaking crowds, the legitimacy of Russian as an official language, the reversal of all sanctions, the restoration of diplomatic ties, and even the continuation of gas transit through Ukraine to Europe. To seal the deal, Moscow wants the peace treaty affirmed by a UN resolution after signing.
The Istanbul talks were the second round of direct negotiations since May, the first such meetings since 2022. The previous attempts at peace talks ultimately fell flat.
