EXPLAINED: Zelensky’s 10-Point Peace Plan
https://www.kyivpost.com/post/20469
1. Nuclear safety
In March of 2022 Russia became the first country in the world to militarily take over a working nuclear station when it took control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
Since the occupation of the power plant, Russia has been reckless with the plant, even using it as a military base, knowing that Ukraine won’t shoot at it.
Furthermore, since being run by the Russians, the power plant has repeatedly been brought to dangerous levels.
“Ukrainian nuclear power plants and installations must operate safely under full sovereign control of Ukraine. Russian troops shall be withdrawn from the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and its territory shall be completely demilitarized,” Ukraine’s peace plans says.
With its bombing and shelling, Russia’s war on Ukraine has also put other nuclear power plants at risk.
Under Ukraine’s plan, the International Atomic Energy Agency plays a lead role in implementing nuclear safeguards until power plants are returned to Ukraine.
2. Food security
It’s become very difficult for Ukraine to deliver its grain abroad, particularly to poorer Asian and African countries, where, without the grain, many risk starvation.
As part of the peace plan, Russia stops shelling Ukraine’s ports and grain elevators.
“The matter of food security shall be de-weaponized,” the document says.
Russia allows Ukrainian ships to again freely carry grain through the Black and Azov Seas. Russia eventually restores control of the ports it’s captured.
3. Energy security
The next winter period will likely be another test for Ukraine. This past winter, despite many attempts, Russia failed to destroy Ukraine's energy facilities, which would have left Ukrainians without light and heat.
Nevertheless, Russia did do significant damage.
This winter, Ukraine believes Russia will likely attempt to freeze Ukrainians once again.
As part of Zelensky’s peace plan, Russia ends its energy terrorism. Ukraine’s energy facilities are internationally monitored, protected, and restored.
4. Release of prisoners
A staggering number of Russia’s prisoners – including both Ukrainian soldiers and civilians – have undergone torture.
Also, as many as 10,500 Ukrainian children have been abducted to Russia, Ukraine says.
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, for the forced abduction of Ukrainian children – many of whom have been adopted by Russian families.
Under the peace plan, Russia releases all of its prisoners and deported people.
5. Restoration of territory
Russia fully restores Ukraine’s territorial integrity, including Crimea, which it invaded and annexed in 2014. The United Nations General Assembly rejected Crimea’s so-called “referendum” to join Russia.
6. Cessation of hostilities and military withdrawal
Russia fully withdraws its army from Ukraine and ceases hostilities.
7. Justice
A special tribunal is created to prosecute Russian war crimes and Russia is held accountable for its violations of international law.
National and international evidence-gathering efforts, including by the International Criminal Court, are continued and strengthened.
8. Environmental safety
Russia’s war on Ukraine has caused environmental damage on an immense scale.
It’s led to unprecedented levels of pollution, destruction of ecosystems, and the deaths of massive numbers of animals.
Ukraine says that one of most devastating acts of environmental destruction happened on June 6, when Russia detonated explosives from within the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. With consequences that will be felt for years, dozens of farms, villages, and towns were wiped away by flooding and thousands of people were evacuated.
“It's really ecocide that the Russian Army committed in Ukraine,” Oleksandr Todorchuk, the founder of Ukrainian animal welfare charity UAnimals told Newsweek.
Tens of thousands of animals likely died in the flooding, Todorchuk said.
Beyond the destruction of its dam, a great deal of Ukraine has been mined with explosives. First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko has said that as much as 174,000 square kilometers of Ukraine could be contaminated with explosives.
Ukraine is calling for three steps:
Short, medium, and long-term damage assessment, including the impact on human health and biodiversity
Prosecution for those responsible for the environmental damage
Recovery and reconstruction
9. Prevention of future aggression
With an unpredictable and belligerent neighbor at its border, Ukraine wants some guarantees that after peace, Russia won’t simply invade it again.
For that reason, it wants some security guarantees from its international partners.
10. Confirmation of war’s end
This is the final step. The framework is set for ending the war, guaranteeing Ukraine’s future security, and its reconstruction.
The end of the war is confirmed at a peace conference, held with the widest possible number of countries participating and contributing. A legally binding international agreement is signed.
Kyiv hopes its peace plan will then be used for “preventing the repetition of aggression against Ukraine and any other state in the future, small or big.”
Rusi, predajte se.
