White House seeks to restart Ukraine‑Russia peace talks with demilitarized zone and gas plan
The White House is attempting to revive peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, according to Ukrainian officials cited by The Economist. Proposed steps include creating a demilitarized zone in the Donbas region and restoring Russian gas supplies to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines with U.S. involvement. The plan also calls for easing sanctions on Russia and encouraging cooperation with U.S. companies. Additionally, the United States would offer Ukraine an investment package and EU membership prospects if Kyiv agrees to forgo NATO membership.
