Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky has presented a 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Zelensky did this during a video speech to G20 leaders in Bali on Tuesday, November 15, according to a transcript shared by the Embassy of Ukraine in Indonesia.
The steps includes a path to nuclear safety, food security, a special tribunal for alleged Russian war crimes, and a final peace treaty with Moscow, according to a transcript of the speech.
He also urged G20 leaders to use all their power to “make Russia abandon nuclear threats” and implement a price cap on energy imported from Moscow.
In the address, Zelensky compared the recent liberation of the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson to the battles leading to the Allied defeat of Germany in World War II.
“It is like, for example, D-Day — the landing of the Allies in Normandy. It was not yet a final point in the fight against evil, but it already determined the entire further course of events,” Zelensky said in the address.
“If the victory will be ours in any case, and we are sure of it, then shouldn’t we try to implement our formula for peace to save thousands of lives and protect the world from further destabilization?”
Zelensky also called on Russia to stop bombing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as winter approaches. “Let Russia prove by its rejection of terror that it is really interested in the restoration of peace,” he said.
Zelenskyy then proposed an “all for all” prisoner swap with Russia during his virtual address to the G20 leaders in Bali on Tuesday, according to a transcript of his remarks shared by the Embassy of Ukraine in Indonesia.
“Thousands of our people — military and civilians — are in Russian captivity. They are subjected to brutal torture — this is mass abuse… we know by name 11,000 children who were forcibly deported to Russia,” Zelensky said.
“Add to that hundreds of thousands of deported adults, and you will see what a humanitarian catastrophe the Russian war has caused. Add political prisoners — Ukrainian citizens who are held in Russia and in the temporarily occupied territory, in particular in Crimea. We must release all these people … we must unite for the sake of the only realistic model of the release of prisoners — “all for all.”
The 10 areas outlined by Zelensky during his speech Tuesday on a path to end the war are:
-Radiation and nuclear safety
-Food security
-Energy security
-Release of prisoners and deportees
-Implementation of the UN Charter
-Withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities
-Justice
-Ecocide and the protection of the environment
-Prevention of escalation
-Confirmation of the end of the war
