Ukraine's leader, President Zelenskyy, shared an idea from the US. The US said Ukraine's soldiers should leave some places. These are in the Donetsk area. Ukraine thinks this is not good. It could be an unfair deal. This shows talks are hard. It also shows different ideas.
A US group gave this idea. They want a safe area. This area would have no soldiers. It would be a special zone. This is for peace talks. Ukraine has its own peace plan. It has many points. It also has ideas for safety.
Russia wants Ukraine to give up parts of Donetsk. Ukraine's soldiers are in about one-fifth of it. The US plan means leaving these areas. The plan hopes Russia stops fighting. President Zelenskyy is not sure. He said changing land is about freedom. People must vote on this.
President Zelenskyy worries Russia could use empty space. This could help Russia. It might not bring peace. The US wants the war to end. But Ukraine wants safety first. It does not want to give up land. This shows big challenges for peace. Ukraine must protect its freedom.
