Yet another version of the Ukrainian peace plan

Bit by bit, inch by inch, a formula for bringing the war in Ukraine to an end is being sewn together. It's pow like a giant tapestry with a multitude of different concepts aimed, basiczlly, at trying to please Putin. I somehow doubt Putin is in a mood to do business with anyone, especially the Ukrainians but let's see. He has Christmas to read the proposals and put his red pencil through it. The biggest idea is to turn a large chunk of the Donbas region into a demilitarised zone and monitored by an international force. I would have thought that would be a no no for Putin. But perhaps Trump will at last put maximum pessure on Putin to do a deal.
