The United States and Europe are preparing a proposal to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. The plan will include four points

The United States and Europe have begun to develop a new joint proposal for a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian conflict. This data is provided by The Washington Post (WP), citing sources. The package of measures, according to these data, should help provide financial and security-related benefits to both countries - Russia and Ukraine.

The plan will include four points

The package of measures will consist of four main points, the first of which is an agreement between Russia and Europe in the field of security and economics. This measure will be designed to restore stability in the region.

The following will outline security guarantees. Among other things, the Ukrainian side is discussing the receipt of a promise by the Ukrainian side from the United States and European countries “to respond militarily in the event of a repeated escalation of the conflict, which will be equivalent to Article 5 of the NATO Charter.” Security issues are also proposed to be discussed jointly between Kyiv and Moscow.

The third measure is the economic integration of Russia, Ukraine and Europe through an energy agreement. One of the aspects is the construction of a pipeline through which oil and gas from Russia will be supplied to European countries. In addition to providing Russia with “long-term access to the European energy market,” a peace agreement would determine how and when anti-Russian sanctions would be lifted.

The final key point is the territorial issue, in which a ceasefire along the current front line will be discussed. Territorial concessions are also expected.

Moscow reacted to the initiative

As noted by Dmitry Novikov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, the proposal regarding Ukraine voiced in foreign media may likely turn out to be irrelevant for the Russian side.

In turn, the press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, indicated that the Kremlin had only seen media reports about possible discussions between the United States and Europe about a peaceful resolution of the conflict. So far, no proposals have been officially announced.

WP columnist David Ignatius notes that European leaders decided to continue the diplomatic process led by American negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, despite dissatisfaction with US President Donald Trump's deal with the Russian Federation on diesel.

“It’s time to defuse the situation and get back to work,” the European diplomat stressed.
