An Alternative 28 Point Peace Plan for Ukraine and Russia - Econ Lessons

[TexasTowelie]

This is my 28-point alternative peace framework designed to imagine a more just, humane, and sustainable future for Ukraine and the wider region. Make the world a better place, that is what it's all about, right?

Drawing on principles of human dignity, environmental restoration, accountability, cultural renewal, and long-term stability, this plan outlines what a truly transformative peace could look like—not only ending the war, but preventing the next one.

Complete withdrawal and accountability for war crimes

The return of Ukrainian children and territorial integrity

Ukraine’s sovereign right to join NATO and the EU

Dismantling long-standing structures of authoritarianism and aggression in Russia

Redirecting extractive revenues into global peace, climate, and humanitarian programs

Eliminating nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons threats

Protecting culture, children, education, arts, music, and free expression

Strengthening democracy, civil society, and international law

Building a future where peace is learned, practiced, and protected

This vision is pro-humanity, pro-environment, anti-imperial, anti-racist, and rooted in global responsibility. I believe, like Hans King did, that global responsibility can also include a spiritual basis. It proposes a world where safety, culture, tolerance, and creativity replace violence, propaganda, and fear—and where the next generation grows up arguing about chess moves, music, and ideas rather than borders and wars.
