The new peace plan includes recognition of Russia's control over Crimea

The new version of Trump's peace plan provides for Ukraine's recognition of Russia's control over Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk regions

According to the information ZN.UA, new version of Donald Trump's peace plan, The agreement being discussed in Washington includes a condition for Ukraine to recognise Russia's control over Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Analysts of the publication note that the document actually meets Moscow's key wishes and significantly limits Ukraine's ability to return the occupied territories.

Other points of the plan

1. Creation of a grey demilitarised zone

It is proposed to create demilitarised zone on 30% of Donbas territory.
This zone is supposed to be controlled by international observers, but de facto it records the Russian occupation lines.

2. Withdrawal of troops

Ukrainian and Russian troops must be withdrawn beyond the administrative boundary, which is to be further defined under separate agreements.

3. Freezing the situation in the south

The plan provides for freezing the front line in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions - without further de-occupation of these territories.

4. Prohibition of forceful change of agreements

Ukraine and Russia must commit themselves not to change the agreements reached by force, This makes it impossible to launch a full-scale offensive or liberate the occupied territories.

5. ZNPP comes under new management

The document provides that Zaporizhzhya NPP will actually get a new owner - the United States, The company's management team is responsible for ensuring technical and safety control of the plant.

6. Ban on the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine

The United States is obliged to object to the deployment of any NATO troops on the territory of Ukraine, This sharply limits the possibility of security guarantees in the future.
