Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently put forward a proposal to end the ongoing war, suggesting actions like releasing Russian prisoners and ceasing strikes, with the condition that Russia responds in kind. Zelenskyy’s plan is designed to place the onus of peace on Russia’s shoulders. This move comes after a contentious meeting with U.S. President Trump and the subsequent freeze on U.S. military assistance to Ukraine. The proposal signifies Ukraine’s willingness to negotiate and seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
