Russia released a detailed peace plan for Ukraine on June 1st. The proposal demands Ukraine give up land Russia took since 2014. Moscow wants control over Crimea and four other regions. Ukraine must stay neutral and never join NATO under the terms. Russia also wants all Western sanctions removed.
Two different ceasefire paths appear inside the document. The first option requires Ukrainian troops to leave Russian areas completely. The second plan uses smaller steps over several months. Both choices would end with a major peace treaty signed by both countries.
Russia suggests specific steps to make peace happen. The plan starts with a short three-day break to collect dead soldiers. Ukraine would hold new elections within 100 days after martial law ends. A final peace agreement needs approval from the UN Security Council.
The war started when Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022. Peace talks failed early during the conflict after Russian forces killed civilians. Ukraine refuses any deal that gives away territory to Russia. Many experts think Russia made these demands knowing Ukraine would reject them.
