💢 The Economist: The US has proposed a peace plan for Ukraine.

According to "leaks"

🔹 A demilitarized zone in the Donbass;
🔹 The resumption of Russian gas supplies to Europe via Ukrainian pipelines and the surviving section of the Nord Stream pipeline, with a US intermediary involved;
🔹 The lifting of sanctions against Russia and the possibility of deals with American companies;
🔹 An investment package for Ukraine and its accession to the EU in exchange for abandoning NATO membership.

"A key element of the Trump administration's broad plan to ensure peace in Ukraine is a proposal that would overturn years of American energy policy. Europe should resume purchasing larger volumes of Russian gas – a step that would be an economic benefit for Moscow and restore its influence in the region," writes The Economist.

"European officials at the negotiations recoiled from this idea. But Trump administration officials see Russian gas exports as a potential part of a peaceful settlement."
