20 steps to peace hope it’s more than just paper this time.

Peace plans always sound hopeful on paper—execution is the real test.

That peaceplan would require unanimous voting result from all EU members since it mandates accession, so you don’t need to even read the others. This plan will not pass EU.
Territories, guarantees, none of them matter. Ukraine is not getting a fixed join date, ever.

“Ukraine to become a member of the EU”
This is unlikely when Orban rules in Hungary.

> If Ukraine invades Russia or opens fire at Russian territory without provocation, the security guarantees will be considered void. If Russia opens fire on Ukraine, the security guarantees will come into effect.
Isn’t this just begging for a Russian false flag attack?

Make no mistake. This is to keep US support on board and occupy the orange baby for a few weeks or months.

If signing this peace plan meant the lifting of all sanctions imposed on Russia, it would be a major victory for Putin. The occupation of approximately 20% of Ukraine and its international recognition would have no long-term consequences for him.

Why is the EU, the main sponsor of Ukraine and main refugee destination of Ukrainians, not involved in these plans? Why are the US and Ukraine deciding who gets to join the EU?

I don’t get why they insist on this pointless dance. We know Russia is going to decline it anyway.

Russia will never agree. Just read The Grand Chessboard if you want to understand the strategic significance of Ukraine to Russia (access to black sea, access to central Europe). “Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an Eurasian empire”. Brezinsky predicted all of this. Ukraine must be overtook by Russia if it wants to become an empire and world player again. Something we know that Putin wants to be his legacy.

Those are maximalist requirements, same as what Russia “proposes”. To me it seems it can’t go through. Anyone sees problems with something like this?:
1) No NATO bases/long-range weapons in Ukraine, except for anti-aircraft defense, in exchange for 200km demilitarised zone on both sides, including Belarus and black sea. Absolutely no hostilities from either side allowed (implying possible sanctions on both sides). Ukraine will be a neutral country in the foreseeable future.
2) Russia will participate on war reparations, in exchange for unfreezing their EU-assets
3) International overlook on safety of both Ukrainan- and Russian-speaking people on both sides, in the next +-10 years.
4) Russia keeps Crimea, the rest becomes neutral zone/state or if internationally-safeguarded referendum decides so, to merge with either of the sides.
5) New elections, UA can ask for start of EU entry talks
6) Standard after-war exchanges of prisoners etc.

EU membership and free trade agreement with US?
HunterThin870 on
So Ukraine joins EU, regardless of whether it meets the criteria and USA gets free-trade agreement with Ukraine and therefore EU, without negotiating with EU?
Odd_Cauliflower_8004 on
The fact that they are even thinking about conceding territory is un tolerable.
Please zalensky, play the good game until Trump gets out of office. Keep all parties suspended and fight Russia as much as you can out of your country, and then when you don’t have to deal with 2 insane people at a time you might reclaim everything that was taken.

Why does Ukraine get to dictate its status with the EU? Why should billions be allocated to it when it’s plagued with corruption?

My peace plan for UK:
1. Peace must be guaranteed
2. All previous colonies must rejoin
3. Kneel down to us and invest in our prosperity with 50% yearly GDP – for all wealthy countries
These are not serious people
