Zelenskyy pitches a "buffer zone" peace plan with Trump envoys

Original version ·

The big idea involves a ceasefire and a mystery third-party zone.

It looks like Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been busy brainstorming with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. They put their heads together and managed to fit the entire roadmap for ending the war onto a single page.

The core concept? A ceasefire, followed by both sides pulling back to create a neutral "free economic zone" managed by a mysterious third party. The idea is that everyone—Ukraine, the US, and even the Russians—is currently nodding along to the proposal, though nobody seems to know who exactly would be running this buffer zone.

It’s effectively a "step back and let someone else handle it" strategy that everyone is supposedly fine with. Whether the reality matches the page remains to be seen.

Diplomacy is just a fancy word for waiting to see who blinks first.

    A free economic zone? In a war zone? Good luck finding investors for that.
    +6 solidTrying to sell venture capital on a war zone is the ultimate test of optimism, or perhaps just a lack of basic risk assessment

    Finally, some actual movement instead of just speeches. Hope it sticks.
    +1 boringA classic display of 'hope is a strategy,' which usually ends exactly as well as you'd expect

    Sounds like a recipe for a frozen conflict that lasts another decade. Classic.
    +6 solidCalling it a 'recipe for a frozen conflict' is like calling a dumpster fire a 'warm gathering'—technically accurate and equally depressing
