US "peace plan" offers "mutual benefits" for Russia and Ukraine - White House
White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said that the new "peace plan" proposed by the US administration regarding Russia and Ukraine "reflects the complex situation" and provides favourable conditions for both sides.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to ABC News.
Levitt noted that the agreement should provide "full security guarantees and deterrence" for Ukraine, Europe and Russia, as well as financial opportunities for the reconstruction of Ukraine. For Russia, she said, a return to the global economy is envisaged. "This will be an advantage for the people of both countries," she stressed.
According to the spokeswoman, the plan is designed to "reflect the realities of the situation" and find the optimal "win-win scenario" where both sides "get more than they give."

According to some reports, the plan provides security guarantees for Ukraine that could ensure lasting peace. However, the conditions allegedly include:
