A peace plan must end the suffering in Ukraine and reduce the nuclear threat. Russia must end its brutal invasion of Ukraine.
War cannot provide any gain or security for Russia. The war is claiming thousands of lives and forced millions of Ukrainians to flee their homes. The war carries a heavy financial cost on everyone, including the Russian people.
After the withdrawal there could potentially be a demilitarized area set up along the border with Ukraine to bolster peace. Such a zone could be similar to the Rush-Bagot agreement that disarmed American and British warships on the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain after the War of 1812. The Rush-Bagot agreement was the foundation of the peaceful border that exists between the U.S. and Canada.
In 1996 U.S. retired Generals Andrew Goodpaster and Lee Butler put forward such a nuke disarmament plan. Goodpaster, a former aide to President Dwight Eisenhower, and Butler said, “Steady pursuit of a policy of cooperative, phased reductions with serious commitments to seek the elimination of all nuclear weapons is a path to a world free of nuclear dangers.”
A treaty negotiating a deep reduction in the world’s nuclear weapons would enhance international security. It would open the door to the possibility of eliminating all nuclear weapons. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a massive humanitarian crisis with victims spread all around the globe. The war must end.
