Zelenskiy?s 10-point peace plan

Zelenskiy’s 10-point peace plan

News:  Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been vigorously promoting his 10-point peace plan, discussing it with U.S. President Joe Biden among others, and urging world leaders to hold a Global Peace Summit based on it 

What does the plan call for?
• Radiation and nuclear safety, focusing on restoring safety around Europe's largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine, which is now-Russian occupied.
• Food security, including protecting and ensuring Ukraine's grain exports to the world's poorest nations.
• Energy security, with focus on price restrictions on Russian energy resources, as well as aiding Ukraine with restoring its power infrastructure, half of which has been damaged by Russian attacks.
• Release of all prisoners and deportees, including war prisoners and children deported to Russia.
• Restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity and Russia reaffirming it according the U.N. Charter, which Zelenskiy said is 'not up to negotiations'.
• Withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities, restoration of Ukraine's state borders with Russia.
• Justice, including the establishment of a special tribunal to prosecute Russian war crimes.
• Prevention of ecocide, need for protection of environment, with focus on demining and restoring water treatment facilities. 
• Prevention of escalation of conflict, and building security architecture in the Euro-Atlantic space, including guarantees for Ukraine.
• Confirmation of the war's end, including a document signed by the involved parties. 

How has the world responded?
• Russia rejected Zelenskiy's peace proposal and Moscow reiterated that it would not give up any territory it has taken by force, around a fifth of Ukraine, which it says it has annexed. 
• The Western world’s support for Ukraine’s military has run into billions of dollars, led by Washington, and nations have rushed to help Kyiv with demining and fixing power infrastructure. But response to Ukraine’s peace plan and its proposed peace summit has been more cautious.
• The G7 leaders said they were committed to bringing peace to Ukraine “in line with its rights enshrined in the U.N. Charter.”
• While the U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that chances for any peace talks are small any time soon.
