It's been reported that the terms of the peace agreement are still up in the air, with both Ukraine and Russia deep in discussions about a homegrown plan. The sticking point? The structure of anti-action forces that would form part of Kyiv's sought-after security guarantees.
Speaking of Security Guarantees…Some intriguing possibilities are on the table, such as the creation of separate peacekeeping forces from Russia, Ukraine, and a third non-NATO country to monitor the ceasefire. There's also talk of these peacekeeping forces receiving military and financial support from an outside party.
The Trump FactorOn April 21, former U.S. President Donald Trump hinted he'd be unveiling a peace proposal within the next three days, following some productive meetings on Ukraine and Russia.
Press Digest
The New York Post dropped a bombshell on April 18, claiming Ukraine might be willing to hand over 20% of its territory if recognized as a "de facto" state. Washington is allegedly hoping to broker a full ceasefire in Ukraine during a London summit.
Contrary to initial reports, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov denied supporting 90% of Donald Trump's peace plan presented by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and two presidential special envoys.
On a separate note, various sources have claimed that the U.S. is pushing its allies to ease sanctions on Russia if the Ukrainian ceasefire holds. This arrangement is said to be part of a broader list of U.S. initiatives discussed at the Paris talks, which also includes shelving discussions about Ukraine's NATO membership and allowing Russia to retain control over annexed territories.
Putin's Paschal TrucePaschal truce, anyone? Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a truce from April 19 to 21. Unfortunately, both sides accused each other of violations during this period, and combat operations resumed after it expired. Putin noted that Ukraine violated the truce nearly 5,000 times, with the Ukrainian Armed Forces operating less but still causing some ruckus.
