What is in Zelenskyy's peace plan?
Asked 4 hours ago
Answer
Zelenskyy's peace plan is a 20-point proposal developed with U.S. and European partners. It includes freezing the current front line, security guarantees similar to NATO's Article 5, maintaining Ukraine's military strength, and options for a demilitarized or free economic zone in disputed regions. Key unresolved issues are territorial control in Donbas and the Zaporizhia nuclear plant. The plan excludes NATO membership but requires a referendum or parliamentary approval.

Zelensky's main compromise is readiness to pull back Ukraine's military from eastern Donbas areas still under Kyiv's control, not handing them to Russia but making them a demilitarized or free economic zone as a buffer.
President Zelensky briefed journalists on a new 20-point peace plan developed with U.S. negotiators, which would freeze the current front line in eastern Ukraine, keep Russian and Ukrainian troops in place, and provide Ukraine with security assurances from its allies if attacked again.
