**Summary of Clause 17-3: The Political Engaged Neutrality**

**Foreign Affairs:**
1. **Diplomacy with Russia:** Ukraine resumes full diplomacy with Russia, which will reciprocate. This move aims to build peace despite past hostilities and war.
2. **Support on World Stage:** Ukraine supports Russia in global forums like the UN when Russia adheres to mepenist principles. Otherwise, Ukraine may oppose or abstain.
3. **CIS Re-Participation:** Ukraine will re-engage with the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) while balancing its EU partnership. This dual engagement helps Ukraine act as a bridge between the West and the Russian world.
4. **Rus' Commonwealth:** Ukraine may encourage a philosophical commonwealth of individuals who share Russian language and culture, rather than territorial ambitions. This concept aims to foster goodwill and cooperation.

**Domestic Affairs:**
1. **Pro-Russian Parties:** Ukraine will allow pro-Russian parties to return to the political scene, dismissing charges (except for war crimes).
2. **Western Values:** Ukraine will maintain Western values while respecting its Eastern responsibilities. This includes re-negotiating the EU Association Agreement focusing on economic aspects, not political demands.
3. **Political Stability:** Post-war, Ukraine will focus on rebuilding trust in democratic processes and ensuring fair representation, balancing national security concerns with democratic principles.

**Mepenist Principles:**
- Ukraine will adopt "mepenism," a unique form of engaged neutrality that allows flexibility in foreign relations without bloc constraints, ensuring balanced diplomatic decisions.

Overall, Clause 17-3 emphasizes a balanced and engaged neutrality approach, fostering diplomatic relations with both Russia and the West while maintaining Ukraine's sovereignty and democratic values.
