(AP Photo/Emrah Gurel, File)Russia offered Ukraine a choice of two options for establishing a 30-day ceasefire.One option is that Ukraine must withdraw its forces from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson — the four regions Moscow illegally annexed in September 2022 but never fully captured.
The second option, described by Moscow as the “package” proposal, presses Ukraine to halt its mobilization efforts and freeze Western arms deliveries — conditions that were suggested earlier by Putin.On top of that, the document also demands that Ukraine begin demobilizing its military, halt any redeployment of forces and ban the presence of any third-country forces on its soil.
The “package” option further proposes that Ukraine end martial law and hold elections, after which the two countries could sign a comprehensive peace treaty.
