A renewed push by the United States, under President Donald Trump, is reportedly making headway towards achieving a peace deal aimed at ending the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia. Following extensive discussions in Geneva, a revised 19-point peace proposal has been presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, demonstrating a shift from an earlier controversial 28-point plan that favored Russian interests. This new proposal seeks to address key Ukrainian concerns while still pressing for negotiations that could involve territorial concessions. Zelensky expressed cautious optimism about the principles outlined in the revised plan, emphasizing the importance of avoiding any peace agreement that would equate to capitulation. Nonetheless, as Russian military actions continue to exert pressure on Ukraine, concerns remain about the viability of any potential agreement. The involvement of European leaders, who have reiterated the need for robust security guarantees for Ukraine post-ceasefire, highlights the geopolitical stakes tied to the conflict. This situation presents broader implications for regional stability, especially considering India’s strategic interests in a secure European order free from prolonged conflicts, as the negotiations aim to balance territorial integrity and security without undermining Ukraine’s sovereignty.
