The minimum all sides should agree to is a return to the "Minsk Peace Treaty," because it's essentially the same line of control that kept the peace there for almost a decade under an agreement entered into by President Barrack Obama, and that was signed by several European leaders and the Ukraine head of state. The peace agreement held throughout President Trump’s first term in office. It was unnecessarily ended by the Ukrainian side during the Biden administration.

But this writer hopes the Ukrainian and Russian governments might agree to a weapons-free Ukraine from all sides. That seems like the most brilliant way to resolve the matter.
