Is there a Ukraine peace deal?
Asked 1 hour ago
Answer
There is no finalized Ukraine peace deal, but significant progress has been made on a 20-point plan involving Ukraine, the U.S., and European countries. Key issues such as territorial control in Donbas and the Zaporizhia nuclear plant remain unresolved. Both sides have agreed on many points, but sticking points and ongoing violence prevent a final agreement.
