US Peace Plan Would Unfreeze Russian Energy, Assets: Report

The United States has proposed a significant concession to Russia as part of a potential peace framework for Ukraine, according to a report. The plan, detailed by *The Wall Street Journal*, would restore Russian energy flows to global markets. In exchange, the proposal would use frozen Russian sovereign assets to help fund Ukraine's reconstruction. These assets, held by Western nations, were seized after Russia's invasion. The reported framework also includes a surprising economic incentive. It would grant American and other Western firms access to key Russian sectors. These sectors were closed to foreign investment after the imposition of international sanctions. The proposal remains in early stages. It is not yet clear if Russia or Ukraine would accept these terms. The plan highlights the complex economic and diplomatic trade-offs being considered to end the war.
