  1. For Russian security guarantees, I propose a demilitarized zone (DMZ) from the East Bank of the Dneipr River to the West bank of the Moscow River. In that way both Kyiv and Moscow will sit on the border of the DMZ. UN Peacekeepers would be the only personnel allowed to carry firearms in the DMZ and they would be restricted to side arms and shotguns, and forbidden to carry automatic assault rifles. Also the UN Peacekeepers could have armored vehicle, those vehicles must be unarmed as any heavy weapons are forbidden in the DMZ. The troops in the UN Peacekeeper forces can be drawn only from countries in South America, Africa, Indonesia, Philippines and India. The entire UN Peacekeeper operation would be supervised by Swiss military who would have command over the regiments of the UN Peacekeepers. Only Swiss military can hold the rank of colonel or above as that is the rank required for the head of regiment. The official currency within the DMZ would be Swiss Francs and NATO, Russia and the Swiss would equally fund the operations of the UN Peacekeepers. Let's find out just how committed the Swiss are to peace if it requires that they spend their own money to fund it. One might go a bit further and declare that the only official languages, in which all regulations are published would be French and Russian. The Ukrainians understand Russian although most Russians have trouble understanding Ukrainian therefore allowing Russian is a compromise. Required French as the other language deprives any of the UN Peacekeeper Troops except a few African Nations from having their native language as an official language, but does advantage the Swiss military command because French is one of the three official languages in Switzerland. One final requirement which may seem odd, but I will explain. All UN Peacekeepers must be married, and reside with their families in the DMZ. This should reduce the occurrence of sexual assault on the population of the DMZ as has happened with UN Peacekeepers in Africa. A further requirement would be that the force of UN Peacekeeping soldiers be divided equally between between genders with the number of female Peacekeepers equal to the number of male Peacekeepers. I think the Ukrainians might accept this, but I expect the Russians would only accept this with great difficulty. Nevertheless, these proposals would provide Russia with security guarantees of its border, which is what Russia says it wants. Let's find out just how serious Russia wants border security and what they will concede in order to get it. I doubt they would accept any of this even though these are reasonable proposals. Crimea requires different but similar conditions. Crimea becomes a fully demilitarized UN Protectorate which means that neither Ukraine not Russia have control of Crimea. A perfect compromise. Neither side gets what they want, but both sides get equal treatment. I await the replies to this comment with great anticipation. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
