28-point peace plan demands territorial concessions

Critics say this move could fracture Western unity and undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Ukraine asks for NATO-style guarantees
Kyiv has demanded ironclad security guarantees before it considers giving up territory. Ukrainian officials want a formal treaty, similar to the US-South Korea defence pact, ratified by the US Senate to prevent future presidents from backing out.

Zelensky pushes for elections under martial law
To counter accusations that he’s stifling democracy, Zelensky revealed plans to hold elections within 60 to 90 days, even under martial law.

Fears of WW3 fuel global anxiety

Analysts worry that missteps, especially among nuclear powers, could spiral into full-scale conflict.
Ukraine still resisting US-backed compromise
Despite mounting pressure, Kyiv hasn’t accepted the proposed 28-point plan. Officials insist that any deal must protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.
