When the war between Russia and Ukraine began in 2022, the world could not have imagined that the conflict would escalate to such a scale. Thousands of lives were lost, millions of citizens were forced to flee their homes, and the conflict had a profound impact on the global economy, from Europe to the United States. Energy crises, food shortages, geopolitical tensions, and military rivalries all profoundly altered the global balance of power.
Now, in November 2025, significant news has emerged:
The US White House, in collaboration with Russia, is preparing a new peace proposal for the Ukraine war. This 28-point roadmap aims to end the war and establish lasting peace.
According to recent reports from Reuters, this proposal is being discussed at the diplomatic level between the US and Russia, and European allies are also being informed of the plan.
This move is significant because the US and Russia have been global rivals for years. And now, the two sides sitting together at the same table indicate that international political equations could change rapidly in the future.
➡️ Background to the Ukraine-Russia War
The history of Ukraine and Russia has always been politically and culturally complex. Main causes of the conflict:

In 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military attack on Ukraine, and the war began. Since then:
