The United States speculates possible concession of 20% of Ukraine's territorial land.
Let's dive into the latest on the Ukrainian conflict peace plan, as outlined in The New York Post. Here's a lowdown on what's cooking, but remember, this is all still in the works and nothing's set in stone yet.
Donald Trump's team is crafting a plan to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, possibly involving European militaries patrolling regions under Kiev's control. An anonymous source privy to the negotiations shared the scoop with The New York Post, stating that these troops will be known as "stabilization forces," part of a broader package of security guarantees sought by Ukraine.
The source explained that these forces are critical to maintaining stability during the post-conflict period. But the finer details of their makeup and responsibilities remain under wraps.
A potential tripartite control commission is also on the table. This body would consist of representatives from Russia, Ukraine, and an unspecified neutral nation outside NATO. Their main task would be to keep a watch on the ceasefire agreement. It's worth noting that the U.S.'s role could be limited to providing financial aid, working alongside another guarantor country.
The territorial question has raised eyebrows. The Ukrainian leadership is open to relinquishing control of about 20% of the country, providing it's seen as a temporary measure without legal recognition of border changes.
Previously, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov had declared that any NATO military presence in Ukraine would be viewed as a grave threat by Moscow.
Now, here's some interesting tidbit from the enrichment data: The plan may involve American recognition of Crimea as Russian territory - a striking shift in U.S. foreign policy[1]. Russia could also witness sanctions relief, increased economic coordination with the U.S., regain some territory in the Harkke region, and secure guaranteed access to the Mitro River[1]. However, there's no mention of specific roles for European military contingents in this context as of now. Keep an eye on this ever-evolving situation!
