The plan also calls for limiting its Army to a maximum of 600,000 soldiers after the war, rules out Ukraine’s entry into NATO and forces recognize the right to use Russian in the educational system and the media. Furthermore, the US would lead the reconstruction of Ukraine.
The other two regions in dispute, Jershon and Zaporiyia, would remain under the control of each of the sides according to the partition that marks the front line at the time of the cessation of hostilities, according to the document, which has been published by several Ukrainian media and by the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, a thin tank specialized in conflicts and who has followed the development of the Russian invasion from its origins.
The US and Russia plan, which has been negotiated in secret and behind the backs of Ukraine and the EU in recent weeks by the White House and the Kremlin, also includes what Ukraine withdraws from the territory it still controls in its eastern Donbas regionwhich would remain after the war as a demilitarized zone and would be recognized de facto internationally as Russian.
The Donbas region in eastern Ukraine comprises the two administrative units of Luhansk and Donetsk. Russia controls practically all of Lugansk and around 75% of Donetsk, where Kremlin forces have been slowly but steadily gaining ground for more than two years.
Central nuclear de Zaporiyia
The occupied Zaporizhia nuclear power plantthe largest in Europe and under Russian control since the beginning of the invasion, would distribute electricity equally to the Ukrainian side and the Russian side.
Regarding the request to reduce the number of soldiers, currently the Ukrainian Army has nearly 900,000 troops and kyiv has insisted that it needs to maintain Armed Forces after the war that are sufficiently numerous and well-armed to deter Russia from invading its territory again.
Trump’s plan would also include limitations on long-range weapons that Ukraine possesses, something that goes in a radically opposite direction to what Volodimir Zelensky continually demands of the US and the EU in
their calls for more missiles, more weapons and more sanctions against Russia.
This last issue is something that the Ukrainian president has insisted on this week, after a massive Russian attack on the city of Ternopil this Wednesday in which 26 civilians were killed, three of them children.
Elections, use of Russian, amnesty…
If this peace plan ends up being signed, Zelensky will have to submit to elections within 100 days from the entry into force of the document.
Zelensky ended his term in May 2024, but Ukrainian law prohibits voting while the country is at war and he remains in office indefinitely until elections can be held again.
The document, which Zelensky received yesterday, also states that Ukraine must guarantee religious freedom and recognize the right to use Russian in the education system and mediasomething that is now de facto prohibited.
Another section of the plan contemplates the prohibition in Ukraine of “all Nazi ideology and activities.” The Kremlin has used as an argument for its invasion the alleged Nazi ideology that would have penetrated the Ukrainian Army and Government after the overthrow in 2014 in a wave of massive street protests of the last pro-Russian president of Ukraine.
In its current form, the plan also guarantees amnesty for all actors involved in the war, and plans to allocate part of the assets frozen to Russia in the West to a process of reconstruction of Ukraine that the United States would lead.
Russia would be fully reintegrated into the international trading system and Ukraine would renounce the deployment of NATO troops on its territorya measure that constitutes in kyiv’s eyes the only viable security alternative to its already almost ruled out entry into the Alliance.
