State Duma deputy Alexey Chepa says the peace plan announced by Vladimir Zelensky contains points that Moscow sees as unacceptable, primarily those related to territorial issues and the future of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.

Chepa noted that, in his view, Zelensky’s statement offered no clear position on whether Ukraine intends to join NATO or formally abandon that course. He added that, regarding the Zaporozhye plant, the Russian side had earlier proposed what he called a compromise option — joint management together with the United States, as quoted by the outlet Lenta.ru.

The deputy stressed that both the United States and Russia are deliberately refraining from disclosing the details of preliminary peace arrangements. Chepa argued that this is a conscious tactic: if the sides want the talks to be effective, they should avoid constantly putting every detail up for public debate, otherwise forces opposed to a settlement will immediately try to derail the process. In his words, the louder the public noise, the harder it becomes to move real agreements forward.

Earlier, Zelensky had publicly presented the full list of points in his plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, which had been discussed during talks in the United States. Among them is a proposal to grant Kiev security guarantees modeled on Article 5 of the NATO Charter, enshrining the principle of collective defense. The plan also envisages that Russia and Ukraine would sign non-aggression agreements, that the strength of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in peacetime would be increased to 800,000 service members, that prisoners would be exchanged, and that elections would be held across the entire territory of Ukraine.
