On October 23, 2026, it became known that the US is considering a new peace plan for Ukraine, which involves significant concessions from the Ukrainian side. In particular, Ukraine is being offered to reject NATO membership and establish a demilitarized zone in Donbas.
Conditions for Ukraine
According to information published in The Economist, the new plan stipulates that in exchange for rejecting NATO, Ukraine could receive:
- substantial investments in its economy;
- prospects for joining the European Union.
These conditions could be crucial for stabilizing the economic situation in Ukraine, which has suffered due to the prolonged conflict.
Concessions for Russia
At the same time, the plan also includes concessions for Russia, specifically:
- easing of sanctions;
- economic agreements with the US;
- normalization of relations with Western countries.
These steps could open new opportunities for the Russian economy, which has faced significant losses due to international sanctions.
Energy Issues
Separately, the plan discusses the possibility of resuming Russian gas supplies to Europe and restoring the operation of the “Nord Stream”. This issue is extremely relevant as Europe's energy security remains threatened by conflicts and political decisions.
