Diplomatic talks to stop the fighting in Ukraine are reaching an important point. However, big problems still exist. Ukraine and Russia disagree about land and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. These disagreements make peace difficult. President Zelenskyy will meet European leaders in France. The world is watching and hoping for a good result.
Current talks involve officials from Russia, the US, and Ukraine. They have very different ideas about occupied areas. Russia says the Donbas region belongs to them. Ukraine wants to keep its own land. President Zelenskyy suggested a special zone. This zone would be policed by Ukraine. This would happen if Russia leaves. But it is hard to do. Russia controls much of Luhansk and Donetsk. Putin wants all of Donetsk. This is a main problem.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is also a problem. It is Europe's biggest nuclear plant. Russian soldiers are there. This is dangerous. The future of the plant must be part of any peace deal. There is a risk of accidents. This makes finding a solution urgent.
Former US President Donald Trump said there are "thorny issues." These need solving for peace. President Zelenskyy said giving up land is hard. He said, "We cannot just withdraw; it is against the law." He also said, "Three hundred thousand people live there; we cannot abandon them." This shows the human cost of the war.
The results of these meetings are very important. They will affect the fighting and the future of Eastern Europe. The land issues and the nuclear plant are big challenges. They could stop the peace process. The meeting in France is expected to be very important. It could change Ukraine's land and the region's stability.
