Zelenskiy Says Ceasefire Monitoring Plan Nearly Ready, Land Talks Still Difficult

Post by : Saif Nasser

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that Ukraine and Russia are close to agreeing on how a future ceasefire would be monitored. His remarks came after peace discussions in Geneva that were supported by the United States.

The war between the two countries has now continued for four years. It has caused heavy destruction, loss of life, and deep pain for millions of families. Because of this, even small progress in peace talks brings hope.

In an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Zelenskiy explained that both sides are preparing a document. This paper would clearly describe how a ceasefire would be checked and supervised. Monitoring is very important in any ceasefire. It helps ensure that both sides follow the agreement and avoid new clashes.

According to Zelenskiy, technical matters like monitoring are moving forward. However, political issues are much harder to solve. The most serious problem is the question of land. Some areas of Ukraine are currently under Russian control. Deciding what should happen to these regions remains the biggest obstacle in the talks.

Zelenskiy suggested that this issue may need direct discussions between top leaders. Land disputes often involve strong emotions, national identity, and security concerns. Because of this, they require careful and high-level negotiation.

A ceasefire would not immediately end the conflict, but it could stop the fighting for a period of time. That would help protect civilians and allow humanitarian support to reach affected areas more safely. It could also create space for deeper negotiations.

The international community continues to watch closely. Western countries, especially the United States and European nations, have called for a peaceful solution. At the same time, they emphasize the importance of respecting Ukraine’s independence and territorial rights.

Peace processes are rarely simple. They take patience, compromise, and trust. Even when progress is made, setbacks can happen. That is why a clear and detailed monitoring plan is necessary. It can reduce misunderstandings and build confidence between both sides.

For now, there is cautious optimism. The fact that talks are continuing shows that dialogue is still possible. However, real and lasting peace will depend on how leaders handle the sensitive land issue.

The coming weeks may decide whether the ceasefire plan becomes reality. If successful, it could mark an important step toward ending one of the most serious conflicts in Europe in recent years.
