Europe and Ukraine reportedly draft a 12-point peace plan, with Trump to lead oversight

PANews reported on October 22nd that European countries are working with Ukraine on a 12-point proposal aimed at ending the war with Russia along existing fronts, according to sources familiar with the matter. The implementation of the proposal will be overseen by a "peace commission" led by Trump, the sources said. According to the draft, after Russia and Ukraine agree to a ceasefire and commit to halting the advance of the front line, the plan includes the repatriation of all forcibly displaced Ukrainian children, a prisoner exchange, security guarantees for Ukraine, funds for war-damaged reconstruction, and a swift path to EU membership. Sanctions against Russia will be gradually lifted, but approximately $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank reserves will only be returned if Russia agrees to fund Ukraine's post-war reconstruction; if Russia acts again, these restrictions will be immediately re-imposed. Sources said Russia and Ukraine will negotiate the governance of occupied territories, but neither Europe nor Ukraine will legally recognize any occupied territory as Russian.
