Introduction

In light of the ongoing conflict and the profound human suffering it has caused, This agreement aims to foster peace, security, and the restoration of normalcy in the conflict-affected regions.

We move forward with the understanding that true peace requires addressing underlying issues with compassion, fairness, and a steadfast commitment to the principles of international law and human rights. It is with this spirit that we embrace the cessation of hostilities, aware of the challenges ahead but inspired by the possibilities of what can be achieved through collective action and mutual respect.

Let this ceasefire be the foundation upon which we build not just a cessation of violence, but a future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive in peace and security.

The ceasefire will commence with the arrival of a UN task force. This agreement stipulates that 80% of Russian forces must withdraw within 10 days, with the remaining forces completing their withdrawal within 20 days. During this period, prisoners from both Ukrainian and Russian sides will be released to the UN task force to face special tribunals for any alleged crimes.
