I noted over the weekend....lot of chatter over the points....but never listing them in a complete format....so here...read up:
Immediate Ceasefire Trigger: A ceasefire will take effect immediately upon all parties agreeing to this memorandum, with both sides withdrawing to agreed lines of contact to begin implementation.
Non-Aggression Pact: A comprehensive, non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe (NATO members).
NATO-Russia Expectations (noted for potential deletion in European counter-proposals): There will be the expectation that Russia will not invade its neighbors and NATO will not expand further.
Security Dialogue: A dialogue between Russia and NATO, moderated by the United States, will convene to address all security concerns and create a de-escalatory environment to ensure global security and increase opportunities for connectivity and future economic opportunity.
Security Guarantees for Ukraine: Ukraine will receive robust security guarantees from the United States and European allies, to be determined as measures necessary to restore security (does not obligate US/EU troop deployment).
Territorial Recognition - Crimea: The United States and allies will recognize Crimea as part of the Russian Federation.
NATO Membership Ban: Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to pass bylaws not accepting Ukraine at any point in the future.
No NATO Troops in Ukraine: NATO agrees not to station any troops in Ukraine.
Regional Deterrence: European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland to enhance regional security.
Territorial Cession - Donetsk: Ukraine cedes full control of Donetsk oblast (including areas currently under Ukrainian control) to Russia.
Territorial Cession - Luhansk: Ukraine cedes full control of Luhansk oblast (including areas currently under Ukrainian control) to Russia.
US-Ukraine Energy Partnership: The United States will cooperate with Ukraine to jointly rebuild, develop, modernize, and operate Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, including pipelines and storage facilities. Joint efforts to rehabilitate war-affected areas for the restoration, reconstruction, and modernization of cities and residential areas.
Russia's Economic Reintegration: Russia will be reintegrated into the global economy, including invitations to rejoin the G8 and lifting of certain sanctions upon compliance.
Frozen Assets Allocation: 50% of frozen Russian assets will be allocated to Ukraine for reconstruction; the remainder to a US-Russian investment vehicle for joint economic projects.
Military Size Limit for Ukraine: Ukraine's armed forces will be capped at 600,000 active personnel.
Non-Nuclear Commitment: Ukraine commits to remaining a non-nuclear state and forgoing development of nuclear weapons.
Amnesty for War Actions: All parties will receive amnesty for actions during the war, including no prosecutions for war crimes.
Elections in Ukraine: Ukraine will hold free and fair elections within 100 days of the ceasefire agreement.
No Weapons Limits on Ukraine (with caveat): No caps on Ukraine's arms industry or missile ranges, except: If Ukraine fires a missile at Moscow or St. Petersburg, security guarantees will be null and void.
Demilitarization of Borders: Both sides agree to demilitarize border regions along the new lines of contact, with international monitoring.
Prisoner and Remains Exchange: Immediate full exchange of prisoners of war and return of remains of fallen soldiers.
Territorial Negotiation Clause: Ukraine commits not to recover occupied sovereign territory through military means. Negotiations on any future territorial swaps will start from the current line of contact. Once arrangements are agreed, neither side will change them by force.
Economic Sanctions Relief for Russia: Gradual lifting of Western sanctions on Russia in phases tied to compliance, focusing on energy and finance sectors.
Reconstruction Funding: International donors, led by the US, commit $500 billion for Ukraine's reconstruction, sourced from frozen Russian assets and global contributions.
Minority Rights in Ceded Territories: Russia guarantees rights for Ukrainian minorities in Donbas and Crimea, including language and cultural protections.
Enforcement Mechanism: A joint US-Russia-Ukraine commission, with UN oversight, to monitor compliance and resolve disputes.
Breach Consequences: If Russia invades Ukraine or violates terms, a decisive coordinated military response will occur, all global sanctions will be reinstated, territorial recognitions revoked, and other benefits withdrawn.
Implementation Timeline: Upon agreement, implementation begins within 30 days, with phased withdrawals, economic aid disbursements, and diplomatic recognitions.
So, if you hear of 'other' conditions....presently, it's BS.
If you asked me on Ukraine being agreeable....I'd say with half of these....there's no argument. The EU? No one says how economic and energy deals will work out with Europe and Russia.
