Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has put forward a series of measures to halt the ongoing war, including the release of Russian prisoners and a cessation of strikes, with the condition that Russia responds in kind. Zelenskyy’s plan is an attempt to transfer the onus of peace negotiations onto Russia amidst escalating tensions. This move comes in the wake of a tumultuous meeting between Zelenskyy and U.S. President Trump, which resulted in the suspension of military assistance from the United States to Ukraine. The proposal by Zelenskyy marks a significant development in the efforts to find a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
