Emmanuel Macron expressed support for a revised US-backed peace plan, which Volodymyr Zelensky sent to Moscow after negotiating terms that include a front-line freeze without requiring Ukraine to renounce NATO membership.The diplomatic push follows a significant environmental disaster in Odessa where Russian strikes caused massive sunflower oil leaks into the Black Sea and a military retreat from the strategic town of Siversk.While Zelensky calls for a comprehensive framework involving security guarantees and a standing army, recent polling suggests the majority of Russians anticipate the conflict could end in 2026.
