According to Valerii Chalyi, a former Ukrainian diplomat, the United States is formulating a peace proposal for the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. In his discussion with RBC Ukraine, Chalyi outlined the plan’s primary objectives.
The first key element is to prevent direct confrontation between the U.S. and Russia. Washington quickly recognized the potential for severe repercussions following the invasion and seeks to avoid such a scenario.
Secondly, the proposal aims to keep NATO uninvolved in the conflict. The U.S. views NATO’s participation as a complex issue that could lead to unpredictable outcomes.
The third aspect focuses on thwarting a Russian victory while ensuring Ukraine’s continued existence as a sovereign nation, albeit potentially with reduced territory.
Chalyi emphasized that while the plan doesn’t pursue an outright Ukrainian triumph, it strives for regional peace and stability. The U.S. strategy carefully balances preserving Ukraine’s independence with avoiding an escalation that could draw NATO and America into a broader conflict. This approach reflects a pragmatic effort to support Ukraine while preventing a more extensive international crisis.
