The new blueprint includes security guarantees for Ukraine intended to prevent future Russian aggression, along with plans for the reconstruction of the war-ravaged nation. However, analysts suggest that the Kremlin, emboldened by its military advances, finds the proposal unacceptable.

Aleksei Naumov, an international affairs analyst based in Moscow, described the Ukrainian plan as "an absolute mockery" in a Telegram post. He added, "The idea is clear: Pitch this to the Americans as a compromise, and then blame Russia for its failure."

The original peace plan, drafted in October, would have required significant concessions from Ukraine, including territorial losses and a commitment to non-alignment with NATO. This proposal, unveiled in November, was seen as more favorable to Russian interests. The new plan seeks to address Ukraine's security concerns and rebuild its infrastructure, reflecting Kyiv's strengthened position and continued support from the United States.

The rejection of the new peace plan underscores the ongoing challenges in finding a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Russia's recent military successes in eastern Ukraine have likely hardened its negotiating stance, making it less willing to compromise. The Kremlin also faces domestic pressure to demonstrate tangible gains from the war, making it difficult to accept a plan that could be perceived as a defeat.

The United States' involvement in formulating the new peace plan highlights its continued commitment to supporting Ukraine and seeking a resolution to the conflict. However, Russia's likely rejection of the proposal suggests that the war is likely to continue, with further potential for escalation. The next steps will likely involve continued diplomatic efforts by the United States and its allies, as well as ongoing military support for Ukraine.
