Ukraine is in a tough spot. A peace plan from the U. S. and Russia wants Ukraine to give up a lot. This includes land and military power. It's a hard pill to swallow for Ukraine. The plan is 28 points long. It wants Ukraine to accept that Crimea and parts of Luhansk and Donetsk are now Russian. This is a big no for Ukraine. They have said many times they won't give up this land. The plan also wants Ukraine to stay out of NATO. This is a big deal. NATO is a group of countries that protect each other. Ukraine wants to join for safety. But the plan says no. The plan also talks about money. It wants Russia to use its frozen assets to help rebuild Ukraine. But Russia is not happy about this. They say it's stealing. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, says he wants peace. But he also wants a peace that keeps Russia from invading again. He is working with the EU and the U. S. to find a way. The plan has some good points. Like Ukraine getting better trade deals with the EU. But overall, it's a tough sell. Ukraine has to decide what's best for its future.
