  • Ukraine is willing to withdraw troops from eastern industrial regions if Russia reciprocates, creating a demilitarized zone monitored by international forces.
  • Russia maintains a hard line, with the Kremlin insisting Ukraine surrender all Donbas territory, a demand Kyiv firmly rejects.
  • A draft 20-point peace proposal has been shared with Moscow, following constructive talks between Kyiv and Washington, though sensitive issues persist.
