US President-elect Donald Trump's team is discussing a new plan to end the conflict in Ukraine.
This was reported by the American publication The Wall Street Journal, citing sources.
What is known about the Trump team's new plan for Ukraine
According to the WSJ, the new plan from Trump's team calls for freezing the conflict with the creation of a demilitarized zone along the front line.
Ukraine will have to promise not to join the North Atlantic Alliance for at least 20 years.
The United States, in turn, will undertake to supply Ukraine with weapons to prevent a resumption of the conflict.
It remains unclear who will maintain order in the demilitarized zone. The US does not plan to send a peacekeeping contingent there.
Let the Poles, Germans, English and French do it, the publication’s source said.
WSJ clarifies that Trump has not yet approved any of the plans.
In mid-June, Russian President Vladimir Putin put forward new peace proposals for Ukraine, which envisage recognition of the DPR, LPR, Crimea, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions as regions of Russia, Ukraine’s refusal to join the North Atlantic Alliance, the consolidation of Ukraine’s non-aligned and non-nuclear status, and the lifting of sanctions.
After the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into the Kursk region, the Russian President called negotiations impossible with those who attack civilians.
Putin aide Yuri Ushakov later said that Russia's peace proposals had not been cancelled, but that Moscow would not talk to Kiev at this stage.
