Here is a real 28-Point Peace Plan
Centre for Eastern European Democracy
November 22, 2025
I. Core Principles of a Just Peace
1. Peace must be anchored in international law — not coercion, spheres of influence, or great-power deals.
2. Borders cannot be changed by force.This post-WWII principle protects global stability.
3. Ukraine’s territorial integrity is non-negotiable, including Crimea and all territories occupied from 2022–2025. No outside power may restrict Ukraine’s right to defend itself.
4. Responsibility for the war lies with the aggressor.
5. European security requires accountability, not appeasement of dictators with imperial ambitions.
6. Ukraine’s future belongs solely to its democratically elected government — not foreign autocrats imposing language rules, religious control, or colonial versions of history.
II. Conditions for Ending Hostilities
7. Complete withdrawal of Russian forces from all Ukrainian territory.
8. Total cessation of missile, drone, and artillery attacks on civilians and infrastructure.
9. Deployment of an international monitoring mission to verify compliance and protect civilians.
10. Immediate return of all Ukrainian POWs, abducted children and unlawfully detained civilians.
11. Restoration of Ukraine’s full control over its international borders.
12. Secured navigation in the Black Sea through multinational maritime cooperation.
III. Security Guarantees for a Lasting Peace
13. Long-term, binding security guarantees for Ukraine from a coalition of democratic states.
14. Accelerated NATO integration — based solely on Ukraine’s progress, not Russian approval.
15. Deepened EU accession support, reconstruction funding, and institutional alignment.
16. A permanent, structural sanctions architecture to deter renewed Russian aggression.
17. Automatic punitive sanctions triggers for any ceasefire violations.
18. Strengthened Eastern European defense infrastructure, including forward deployments and integrated air and missile defense systems.
IV. Justice, Accountability & Human Rights
19. Establish a special international tribunal to prosecute Russia’s leadership for genocide and aggression. Russia must surrender Vladimir Putin to the International Criminal Court and cooperate with ICC prosecutions.
20. Comprehensive documentation and prosecution of all war crimes, including genocide, torture, deportations, and deliberate attacks on civilians.
21. Mandatory reparations financed through frozen Russian sovereign assets.
22. Safe, verifiable return of all kidnapped and unlawfully deported Ukrainian children.
V. Reconstruction, Recovery & Democratic
Rebuilding
23. A Marshall Plan–style reconstruction effort to address over $500 billion in damages, financed by more than $300 billion in seized Russian assets and allied support.
24. Strengthening Ukraine’s democratic institutions, anti-corruption systems, and transparent governance.
25. Support for full energy independence — renewables, nuclear safety, and integration into the European energy market.
26. Rebuilding critical infrastructure (schools, hospitals, transport, digital networks) and ensuring Russian return of all stolen Ukrainian cultural and historical artifacts such as art works, icons, embroidery, rare historical secular and liturgical texts, jewelry, and similar national treasures from Ukrainian museums, churches, monasteries, universities, schools, art galleries, government buildings, and other institutions housing or storing rare artifacts of national and historical importance
VI. Russia’s Path Back to International Legitimacy
27. Russia can reenter the global economy only after meeting core conditions: full withdrawal, reparations, and cooperation with justice mechanisms.
28. Russia must abandon its imperial ambitions and formally acknowledge its wrongdoings to earn its place alongside free nations in this world.
