As December 24 don waka come, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky don show us say dem don cook new plan wey suppose fit help end the war wey Russia don cause since February 2022. This new plan, wey dem dey call 20-point framework, na wetin dem dey follow talk with the U.S. to shape peace.
Zelensky talk say him don meet journalists on December 23, where him go drop gist about this plan. According to am, dem don make good progress, and na today, dem wan deliver this 20-point draft to Moscow. The hope be say if dem sign am, ceasefire go follow quickly, but e still need to pass through Ukrainian parliament and maybe even public vote.
But no be smooth sailing o! Dem still dey argue over two main points wey concern control of some areas wey Russia dey occupy and the oversight of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. As e be now, e no clear if Russia go gree accept this new terms or dem wan maintain their tough stance on territory.
Nah outline wey no too soft o! The first point dey acknowledge say Ukraine na sovereign state, and dem dey propose say make Russia sign non-aggression agreement. This one go still fit involve international monitoring to take check wetin dey happen for conflict zone.
Dem go also give Ukraine some security guarantees from U.S., NATO and European countries. And if Russia attempt enter Ukraine again, dem go balance matter well well with military response and serious sanctions against dem.
Zelensky talk say dem still dey discuss how Ukraine go become EU member, and dem dey look for when this go happen. Him mention say dem fit put 2027 or 2028 as possible dates. Plus, America go support Ukraine move forward economically, with a focus on rebuilding gas infrastructure and developing war-torn regions.
For military side, dem plan to keep Ukrainian army size at about 800,000 personnel during peace time. And if e come to territory, na dem go agree on framework wey go talk how to move troops according to dem plan.
Said and done, as all this negotiation dey happen, e no stop military actions dey make headlines. Ukrainian forces don launch strikes on Russia’s side, and every day, we dey hear story of drone and missile exchanges. Dey no fit shake hands, as both sides dey throw bombs like say na party matter.
Still dey look matter for Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, dis one dey vex Ukraine because dem no wan any Russian oversight. Dem dey propose make U.S. and Ukraine get control while Russia dey watch from far.
In another gist, the whole plan go need clear approval from U.S. Congress, ensuring say everything dey on lock for security and territory matters. As dem dey twist and turn over territory wahala, the world dey watch closely, because e fit change wetin dey happen for energy markets and international arrangements as well.
As it stand, diplomacy fit take time, but make we dey pinch our hope for peace and stability. Naija people, wetin you think? You feel say dem go agree any time soon? Make we hear your thoughts!
