A 15-Point Plan to Get to a Ukrainian-Russian Settlement

A 15-point plan is proposed as a framework for achieving a settlement between Ukraine and Russia. It critiques an alleged Trump administration plan for being too prescriptive and instead suggests establishing broad principles that both sides can agree to before detailed negotiations begin. Key principles include separating the ceasefire line from final border recognition, creating demilitarized zones, and establishing enforceable security guarantees brokered by the U.S. The goal is to create a structure for talks that is militarily realistic and politically survivable for both Kyiv and Moscow, deferring the most difficult issues like territorial status to a longer-term diplomatic track.
