00:00Ukraine and the U.S. are this close to a peace deal with Russia, but two explosive issues stand
00:05in the way. After nearly four years of brutal war, Ukraine and the United States have agreed
00:10on most points of a peace plan to end Russia's invasion. But two major obstacles remain,
00:16the eastern Donbass region and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
00:20President Zelensky revealed that while the U.S. has shared a new 20-point plan with Russia,
00:25the question of who controls Donbass is the toughest issue. Russia wants full control.
00:31Ukraine refuses to give it up. Washington proposed turning the region into a free economic zone.
00:37But Kiev insists on demilitarization and international peacekeepers to keep it stable.
00:42The second hurdle, Europe's largest nuclear plant, still under Russian occupation. The U.S. suggests
00:48a three-way partnership between Ukraine, Russia, and itself. Zelensky says no, and instead wants
00:54a joint venture with the U.S. only, with zero Russian control. Even the nearby city of Enerhodar
00:59is on the table, possibly to become a demilitarized free trade hub. But none of this happens unless
01:05Ukrainians vote on it through a national referendum. The road to peace is near, but trust is fragile.
01:11And the world is watching. A frozen war zone or a fragile peace, the next move could reshape Europe.
01:17The U.S. also rings to thehosts of Europe, the U.S. also hosted in the U.S. and its major
01:35oil and the U.S. are in a traditional τуть. Let's get started!
