I would like to introduce you to the CURD Plan, a comprehensive, double-victory peace plan to end [Russia's unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine | Russo-Ukrainian War | the war in Ukraine]. The Crimea-Ukraine-Russia-Donbas Plan can effectively lead to a ceasefire followed by permanent peace between Ukraine and Russia, as both sides can declare their own victory based on the Plan's two principles and 18 points. The CURD Plan's website, curdplan.docngu.net, provides general information, but the detailed rationale behind each point is elaborated in the full plan currently under review for publication. Due to your [prominent role | interest] [in the war | as a media outlet], I would like to invite you to view the complimentary advance copy. Please reach out to me at curdplan.docngu.net/p/contact.html.

Dear [Recipient Name],

Your insightful [article on... | work as...] prompted me to reach out. The path to a lasting peace in Ukraine often seems to demand a zero-sum outcome, something I'm sure you've considered in your work.

Over the last four years, I have been developing a comprehensive framework that methodically builds toward a "double-victory" — an outcome where both Ukraine and Russia can achieve their stated core strategic objectives. This detailed framework is the "Crimea-Ukraine-Russia-Donbas" Plan.

The CURD Plan is built on two foundational Propositions:

Proposition 1 relates to Crimea. It advocates for Russia to annul its annexation and return the peninsula to Ukraine. As the sovereign owner, Ukraine will then formulate a non-monetary and internationally recognized transaction of Crimea to Russia in exchange for reciprocal concessions that will fund its post-war reconstruction and establish a new neighborly relationship between the two countries.

Proposition 2 relates to the mainland territories occupied by the separatists. It separates the concepts of land and people, with Ukraine regaining sovereignty over the land and Russia retaining sovereignty over the willing residents in these areas. The Plan introduces an innovative concept called native residency, allowing them to remain in Ukraine while retaining Russian citizenship if they choose, thereby addressing their unique circumstances.

The CURD Plan contains 18 comprehensive Points. The first 4 Points codify the two Propositions. The remaining 14 Points outline the concessions designed to strike a balance that enables Ukraine and Russia to jointly sign a peace plan and then separately declare their distinct victories to their respective audiences. 

The concessions include the terms of the Crimea transaction, the sovereignty of the occupied territories, their native residency, a stand-in-place ceasefire, the trials of war criminals of both sides, the release of all prisoners, the return of the displaced, the rights of Ukrainians and Tatars in the transferred Crimea, the restoration of Ukrainian-Crimean economic ties, the Kerch Strait navigation, the demining of old battlefields, the pipeline concessions, the debt concessions, the asset concessions, a military, economic and diplomatic innovative status for Ukraine called engaged neutrality, and the removal of worldwide sanctions for Russia. The concessions are not payments for the non-monetary transfer of the peninsula, as they benefit both nations; they are not war reparations, since both sides will emerge with their own victory. What they do is usher in a new era of peace, respect, and prosperity between the two neighbors.

My name is Doc Ngu. I write about novel solutions to the world's intractable conflicts. My first book is about the PEIS Plan, a three-state triple-win peace plan that can resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict once and for all. After more than four years of research and development, the book about the CURD Plan for the Russo-Ukrainian War is scheduled for release later this summer.

The Plan's official website, curdplan.docngu.net, provides general information and summaries, but the detailed rationales can only be fully expressed in the 500-page book currently under review for publication. Given your prominent voice on this subject, I would be honored to provide you with a complimentary advance copy for your review and consideration.

To receive your complimentary advance copy, please reply to this email or send a request via this contact form.

Hope to see you as part of this peace project,
Doc Ngu
