The 3 conditions of Trump's peace plan
Trump's peace proposal for the war in Ukraine includes three conditions.
The aim is to achieve a definitive peace by May 9, a symbolic date for Europe and Russia.
The first of these conditions concerns Ukraine's membership of NATO, one of the main ones being that it renounce its aspiration to become a member of the Atlantic Treaty, an explicit Russian demand.
The second condition is the cessation of hostilities, a clear ceasefire across the whole of Ukraine by April 20, followed by a withdrawal of troops from certain regions, to be detailed. A call between Trump and Putin is expected in February.
Finally, Russia would also benefit from the gradual lifting of sanctions, which would be phased out from the signing of the peace agreement and over the following three years. The movement of goods, money, Russians' residences abroad, their ships, etc. would be freed.
The key date would be May 9: Europe Day and Victory Day in Russia would be the date set for the end of the war, after which Ukraine would have to suspend martial law and military mobilization.
