Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dropped a bombshell this Christmas with a 20-point peace proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict – think of it as a geopolitical wishlist with real stakes. 🎯 The plan, developed with U.S. input, includes security guarantees, EU membership timelines, and an $800B reconstruction fund. But two major hurdles remain: control of Donbas and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
Key Highlights 🔥
• Ukraine keeps its 800,000-strong military (🇺🇦 flex!)
• NATO-style security guarantees from Western allies
• Demilitarized zones & prisoner exchanges
• Peace Council chaired by U.S. President Trump 🤝
Nuclear Plant Standoff ⚡
The Zaporizhzhia plant remains a sticking point – the U.S. proposes tripartite management while Ukraine wants American co-control. Meanwhile, Russia’s Kremlin called media leaks 'inappropriate,' signaling tough talks ahead.
What’s Next? 🕒
If approved, this could be the first major breakthrough since fighting began. But with elections required post-deal and $800B at stake, 2026 might look very different. Stay tuned as the draft heads to Moscow! 📨
