Breaking News: Zelensky Advances Demilitarized Zones in Ukraine Peace Plan

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed a 20-point peace plan, agreed upon with US negotiators, that offers Russia the potential withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the east. The plan, proposed in Florida over the weekend, aims to provide security guarantees from the US, NATO, and Europeans for a coordinated military response if Russia invades Ukraine again.

The key proposal involves establishing either a demilitarized zone or a free economic zone in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is against withdrawal, but US negotiators are exploring these options. The plan also includes security guarantees that mirror NATO membership.

This peace plan is a significant development in the ongoing conflict, and its immediate impact is uncertain. The Russian government has been demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the east, and this proposal may be a compromise to achieve a ceasefire.

Background context: The conflict in Ukraine has been ongoing for years, with Russia supporting separatist groups in the eastern Donbas region. The international community has been searching for a peaceful resolution, and this 20-point plan is a significant step towards that goal.

The current status is that the Russian government will respond to the plan on Wednesday after the US has spoken to them. The outcome of this proposal is uncertain, and the international community is watching closely.

This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
