The CURD Plan:

This CURD Book presents the CURD Plan, a comprehensive 18-point, double-victory framework to end the war in Ukraine and establish a new relationship between Russia and Ukraine. Its innovative “double-victory” approach breaks from conventional diplomacy: both nations reach the same peace, but through separate victories that reflect their distinct motivations.

Ukraine’s victory is centered on land. Under the CURD Plan, Ukraine regains sovereignty over all its pre-2014 territory, including the Crimean Peninsula. As the rightful sovereign, Ukraine can then make a judicious decision regarding Crimea that supports national recovery and the rebuilding of its embattled eastern mainland region, which is more anchored in the Ukrainian national identity.

Russia’s victory is centered on people. This war of choice stems from the Kremlin leader’s fixation on re‑creating, not the Soviet empire, but the historical Holy Rus’—an ethnocentric realm uniting Russians, Ukrainians, and other Rus’ Slavic descendants in neighboring countries.

The CURD Plan’s 18 points align these motivations: Ukraine accepts the “people” concessions, while Russia accepts the “land” concessions. The CURD Book also envisions a new future in which Ukraine emerges as a buffer country engaging both its western and eastern dimensions, and Russia emanates an aura of responsibility wherever Russian communities reside.

The CURD Plan stands for the Crimea–Ukraine–Russia–Donbas Plan.

 

Front Flap The CURD Book presents the CURD Plan's duo principles, which Ukraine and Russia must independently affirm before entering a formal peace negotiation to discuss the Plan's comprehensive 18 points. Most points contain a “land” provision for Ukraine and a “people” term for Russia. The Book introduces novel concepts, such as mepenism, xiliism, native residency, and diasporic communes to support the points. The Book envisions a future Ukraine emerging as a buffer country confidently engaging both its western and eastern dimensions. A new Russia will emanate an aura of responsibility toward all its neighbors with a Russian community and reclaims its economic strength from the energy-rich Siberia — a strategic asset for the age of artificial intelligence. The Book frames the core Plan chapters with biographical reflections from the author’s youth in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, drawing parallels with the present conflict. This culminates in the Final Battle, a cunning and speculative military campaign by Ukraine designed to force Russia to fight at the negotiating table rather than on the battlefield. The CURD Book is a genre-defying work — blending history, analysis, creative thinking, theory, strategy, humanity, and personal memoir. It also adopts a humorous tone; readers may find themselves smiling at moments of unexpected wit. A new path. Double victory. Shared peace and prosperity. The CURD Plan curdplan.docngu.net

Back Flap Doc Ngu writes about novel solutions to the world’s most intractable conflicts in the series A Frog-In-The-Well Solution Born and raised in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War, Doc Ngu experienced a post-colonial French education steeped in romanticism. After the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, he encountered the rigid literature of socialist realism and communist class warfare. In 1980, he arrived in the United States as a Boat People refugee and discovered the liberating force of American education — a landscape of intellectual freedom and creative problem-solving. He graduated with highest honors in engineering in 1984 and earned his doctorate in Computer Science in 1996— hence the “Doc” in “Doc Ngu.” From the crucible of romanticism, realism, and a drive to reconcile the two, Doc Ngu crafts outside-the-box answers to boxed-in global conundrums. Some hail them as deus ex machina moments; others dismiss them as idiotic. The “Ngu” in “Doc Ngu” is an abbreviation of “Nguyễn,” the most common Vietnamese surname. It also means “idiot” in Vietnamese—a self-acknowledgement of expected criticism. A frog in a well knows nothing beyond its small world—but croaks all night long.
