NYT: U.S. Splits 'peace Plan' Into Four Packages

Ukraine only concerns one.

The US has divided its "peace plan" into four "packages", each of which it plans to discuss with the Russians. One of the "packages" deals with issues of Ukrainian sovereignty, the others - economic cooperation between the US and Russia, European security and the like.

This is reported by The New York Times.

The publication, citing its own sources, writes that negotiations on these four "packages" are being conducted in parallel. One of the "packages" is on Ukrainian sovereignty issues, such as limiting its army and missile range.

The other "packages" issues territorial concessions, economic cooperation between the U.S. and Russia after the war, and broader European security issues. That said, the original "plan" contained 28 points, almost all of which were unacceptable to Ukraine and Europe. Therefore, the plan was revised.

But after that the Russians expressed their dissatisfaction. The publication notes that this reaction of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to the US "peace plan" was not unexpected, since his goals have not changed.

"Putin said a few weeks ago: it may take a long time - we will achieve our goals; it may cost more and take longer than we want, but we will do it.... I actually think that's their mentality," U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on the subject.

The Search for Peace

The five-hour meeting between US President Donald Trump's special envoys - Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner - and Putin in the Kremlin was the sixth and longest meeting when the Americans and Russians discussed a plan. It was at the end of the meeting that the division of the peace proposals into packages became known.

Ukraine, for its part, has a number of conditions it is not going to concede. And skepticism reigns in Europe and in Washington about the success of the peace initiatives.

Any agreement that ends the war will be painful and unfair. It seems we are a long way from a set of terms that meet Russia's minimally acceptable criteria and are acceptable enough to Ukraine that the United States can convince Kiev to accept them," Defense Priorities military analyst Jennifer Kavanagh opined.
