The CURD Plan:

The Russo-Ukrainian conflict started with the Russian annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014, continued with the separatist war in Donbas (2014-2022), and now has morphed into a full-fledged interstate war after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Since then, the scourge of war grows with no resolution in sight.

The CURD Plan aims to resolve the conflict based on two propositions. Proposition 1 is for Ukraine to sell Crimea to Russia, and for Russia to purchase it. For the other contested territories, Proposition 2 has Ukraine regain sovereignty over the land, and Russia maintain sovereignty over the separatist people. The CURD Plan expands the two propositions into several points and clauses.

The CURD Plan stands for the Crimea-Ukraine-Russia-Donbas plan.

This book summarizes the conflict, introduces each point and clause, and describes how they combine to produce a peace plan that ends the war and allows Ukraine and Russia to declare their own victory. The CURD Plan also lays a post-war foundation for a new neighborly relationship between the two countries.
