Ukraine Crisis: Details Of Poroshenko’s Peace Plan Emerge

The Ukrainian media has published a 14-point peace plan which is aimed at ending fighting in the east.

The document is expected to be unveiled by Ukraine’s President, Petro Poroshenko, later.

It comes after Mr Poroshenko held his second phone conversation this week with Russia’s president Vladimir Putin.

The plan promises to decentralise power and calls for immediate disarmament in eastern Ukraine where government forces are battling pro-Russia separatists.

It also apparently proposes the creation of a 10 kilometer buffer zone on the Ukrainian-Russian border, and early local and parliamentary elections.

Mr Poroshenko has already announced he intends to introduce a unilateral ceasefire by government forces ahead of the peace plan being implemented.

Earlier this week, he said a “brief” truce – expected within days – would allow militants in Donetsk and the neighbouring Luhansk region to lay down their arms.

Rebels however rejected the call to surrender their weapons.

This comes as heavy fighting continues between troops and pro-Russian rebels in the Donetsk region.
