Stefanishyna: Controversial clause on "full amnesty" removed from Trump’s "peace plan" draft

Stefanishyna: Kyiv to discuss deployment of allied troops

During negotiations in Geneva to agree on the points of Trump's so-called "peace plan," the clause on ‘full amnesty for the parties’ was removed from the document.

This was reported by Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna in an interview with DW, according to Censor.NET.

According to her, the initial document contained many provisions that could be interpreted ambiguously. "There was a lot of speculation about the issue of amnesty, and I can say unequivocally that it is not included in these 19 points. This point is not there because it is extremely controversial and concerns the issue of justice," the diplomat stressed.

Stefanishyna also noted that the Russian side tried to lay traps in some of the wording, in particular those that would allow for double or false interpretations.

At the same time, she stressed that negotiations are ongoing. This concerns not only the Ukrainian delegation heading to Moscow, but also the work of US Special Envoy Driscoll, whom she described as a person with "a very sound moral compass" for carrying out the mission.
