The parties receive different demands: the US does not force Russia to withdraw from Donbas to create a demilitarized zone

The latest versions of the United States peace plan do not mention the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to create a demilitarized zone there.

The Financial Times writes about this .

The Trump administration’s initial proposals called for creating a border in eastern Ukraine similar to the one separating North and South Korea.

According to US proposals, the so-called “neutral demilitarized buffer zone” is possible provided that the Ukrainian Defense Forces withdraw from part of the territories.

However, according to a Ukrainian official familiar with the peace plan, the White House is not making such a requirement for the Russian military.

At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is convinced that the buffer zone will be more of a short-term pause and a way to freeze the war. This will allow the Kremlin to accumulate strength and launch a new offensive.

It is worth noting that as part of efforts to resolve the fighting in Ukraine, the American team is considering a “Korean scenario” for ending the war .

It was previously reported that the American team is using pressure to persuade the Ukrainian side to adopt a peace agreement , which is supposed to end the war.

As is known, US representatives at the peace talks , Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky agree to the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donetsk region , as Russia insists.
