What other elements are included in the peace plan?: The plan also involves the cessation of hostilities along the frontline and Russia maintaining control of territories already seized. The integration of Ukraine into NATO would be halted for 20 years.
What does the military expert predict for the future of Ukraine?: Popov believes Ukraine's future is likely to involve division, with a smaller portion remaining under uncertain influence, possibly involving the loss of coastal access. He advocates for continued military action and strengthening Russia's position.
What is the proposed demilitarized zone and who would patrol it?: A demilitarized zone (DMZ) between Russia and Ukraine, as proposed by Elon Musk, would involve a 1200km buffer zone patrolled by peacekeeping forces, potentially from Europe and Britain, but excluding the US. Its purpose is to establish a ceasefire and prevent further escalation.
Under what conditions might Russia agree to a demilitarized zone?: Russia's potential agreement hinges on the DMZ's terms and the overall geopolitical landscape. Russia's stance prioritizes its own interests and requires that the agreement not be one-sided and advantageous to the West.
What conditions should Russia impose regarding Ukraine, according to military expert Vladimir Popov?: Retired Major General Vladimir Popov suggests that the current proposals from the West benefit the West, not Russia, and mentions that Russia should insist on a complete end to the supply of weapons to Ukraine, then utilize that advantage to push its military gains further.
