On Wednesday, the President of Ukraine presented a new, 20-point peace plan proposal developed by the US, which is the result of consultations with the parties to the conflict. It provides for, among others: reaffirming Ukraine's sovereign status, freezing the conflict on current lines of contact, a solid development package for Ukraine, efforts to rebuild the country, accelerating the process of concluding a free trade agreement between Ukraine and the US, and elections in the country as soon as possible after the end of the war.
