Europe and Ukraine Propose a 12-Point Peace Plan, Ceasefire and Prisoner Exchange Become Focus Points

On October 22, Reuters reported: "Bloomberg cited informed sources yesterday, stating that Europe and Ukraine have formulated a 12-point peace plan, proposing conditions such as ceasefire, prisoner exchange, and phased lifting of sanctions against Russia, and also proposed that Trump be responsible for supervising the implementation to gain his support. However, US-Russia negotiations have hit a deadlock: Rubio and Lavrov had an unpleasant conversation, and the Russian side refused to cease fire, insisting on Ukraine ceding the entire Donbas, leading to the postponement of Trump's meeting with Putin. Previously, Trump pressured Zelenskyy to compromise, but was rejected, and Zelenskyy could only hold a press conference in a park next to the White House. This still-undecided plan is still stuck in the chasm of core demands from both sides."

[Clever] The Ukraine-Russia peace plan is nothing more than self-deception under the struggle of major powers! The 12-point peace plan put forward by Europe and Ukraine is merely a political performance, attempting to attract the United States by having Trump supervise its implementation, but deliberately avoiding the core issue of the Ukraine-Russia conflict - Russia's strategic demands for Donbas. This is an ineffective attempt to avoid problems. The Russian side refuses to stop the fighting and demands territorial concessions, while Zelenskyy resists pressure, even holding a press conference in a park next to the White House. The US-Russia negotiations have been directly suspended. On one side, Russia is not willing to retreat from its security red lines, and on the other side, Ukraine is unwilling to lose territory, while the United States remains indecisive. This plan, which ignores the core demands of all parties, is destined to be just a piece of paper stuck in the chasm. The so-called initial signs of peace are nothing more than self-deception and self-satisfaction!
