Summary

This AI summary is generated by Microsoft Edge Copilot:

Here are the key points from the current page:

1. **Indemnification of Military Assets**: Ukraine and Russia will not indemnify each other for lost military assets from the 2014 conflict onward. This includes equipment that was expended, destroyed, damaged, or captured by the other side.
2. **Captured Assets**: The CURD Plan does not include provisions for returning captured war material. However, Ukraine and Russia can discuss this issue separately if desired.
3. **Historical Context**: During the 2014 takeover of Crimea, Russian forces captured a significant portion of the Ukrainian Navy fleet. Ukraine may demand the return of some ships, but this negotiation would be outside the main conference track of the CURD Plan.
4. **Current Military Situation**: Ukraine has destroyed several modern Russian vessels using sea drones. Financially, Russia is at a disadvantage as it relies on dwindling stocks and purchases from countries like Iran and North Korea, while Ukraine receives significant military aid from Western countries.
5. **Future Military Aid**: Point 17 of the CURD Plan envisions continued military aid for Ukraine to maintain a modern army, though not at the same level as during wartime. Rebuilding the armed forces will be more challenging for Russia, as it will rely solely on its national resources.

These points address the handling of military assets and the broader context of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
