The demilitarized zone, which features in the updated peace plan for Ukraine from the United States, is to extend from the Donetsk region through the Zaporizhia region to the outskirts of Kherson.
This is reported by Focus, citing The Washington Post journalist David Ignatius.
“The demilitarized zone will be created along the entire ceasefire line, from Donetsk region in the northeast to the cities of Zaporizhia and Kherson in the south. Behind this demilitarized zone there will be a deeper zone in which heavy weapons will be prohibited. This line will be carefully monitored, similar to the demilitarized zone that divides North and South Korea”, — the expert explained.
Recall, recently U.S. President Donald Trump made a new statement about the peace plan. He said that reportedly Russia agrees to accept the peace agreement, and Zelensky’s team “likes” it. However, according to Trump, Zelensky has allegedly not yet read the peace proposal.
According to the FT, envoys of U.S. President Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, gave Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky several days to respond to the proposed peace plan, which requires Ukraine to agree to territorial concessions. According to the publication’s sources, Trump wants to conclude the deal “by Christmas”.
