Washington has offered to establish wide neutral zones in the Donbas and the southern region near the Kinburn Spit to stop the war in Ukraine, with the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant being placed under independent or Ukrainian control. Under this proposal, the US would provide economic incentives to Russia in exchange for peace, including allowing American oil companies to resume operations at the Sakhalin-1 project and restoring the flow of Russian crude to Europe via the Druzhba pipeline.
