The average number of points in a peace plan

Trump's 20-point plan has apparently been reduced to 19-points.

It's not clear yet what those 19 points are but we can pretty much guess what has been left out - everything favourable to Russia i.e. NATO related restrictions and territory gains on the battlefield.

This was after Russia rejected a 28-point European counter-proposal on Monday, saying it was “completely unconstructive and does not work for us” - hardly a surprise given that Europe claims invasion from Russia is imminent, although the plan from Europe was not as bad as Russia might have expected. See Sky News story below:

Probably a major sticking point would be point - 7. Ukraine joining NATO depends on consensus of NATO members, which does not exist - which just kicks the can down the road until such time as consensus does exist.

But the good news is, the roadshow for peace continues because as the Stop the War coalition reports:

Every day the war continues brings more death, destruction, instability and militarism – no wonder the majority of Ukrainians and Russians want some sort of negotiated peace
