The U.S. plan to end the war in Ukraine would, among other things, offer Ukraine an investment program and EU membership in exchange for abandoning its bid to join NATO, The Economist reported. For Russia, the plan calls for an easing of sanctions and a partial restoration of economic and political ties with the West.
The outlet also reported that the plan calls for creating a demilitarized zone in the part of Ukraine’s Donetsk region that Russian forces have not captured.
The plan may also include a resumption of Russian gas supplies to the European Union. The New York Times’ sources previously reported that the European Union had already rejected this proposal.
Ukrainian officials know only the “outlines” of the peace plan, The Economist reported. The details of the new U.S. proposal to settle the war between Russia and Ukraine remain unknown.
The U.S. is once again trying to restart peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff visited Moscow on October 21 for the first time in many months and held talks with Putin. Before that, he was in Oslo, where he met with Zelensky. It was reported that Witkoff brought a new peace plan to the Moscow talks, though its details were not known.
