Here's a summary of the main points on this page:

**The Peace Process (CURD Plan)**:
1. Ukraine and Russia separately accept the principle of the two Propositions.
2. Both countries unilaterally declare a stand-in-place ceasefire for their respective troops.
3. Ukraine and Russia meet to formalize the ceasefire based on "The Conjoint Ceasefire" point.
4. They jointly declare the formal ceasefire.
5. A peace conference is convened to negotiate the remaining points.
6. Joint commissions are created for each point.
7. Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) are released for successfully negotiated points.
8. Ukraine and Russia start implementing the MoUs, if possible.
9. Negotiation of remaining points continues, using MoUs as a basis.
10. Withdrawal of some troops as an act of goodwill.
11. Signing of a comprehensive peace agreement, comprising the released MoUs.
12. Withdrawal of troops as per the peace agreement.
13. Implementation of the peace agreement.

**Additional Points**:
- Ukraine will withdraw troops from new Russian territories, Crimea Peninsula, and any territories occupied from the Final Battle.
- Russia will withdraw back to behind the 2014 Russo-Ukrainian border, with exceptions for the purchased peninsula minus Tuzla Island outpost, and its corps of sappers will stay to help with demining.

The plan has 18 points and clauses that may be added by Ukraine and Russia. Negotiations will involve parallel sessions headed by separate joint commissions. Turkey and Belarus have offered to host ceasefire talks and peace conferences, but Ukraine and Russia may prefer to alternate discussions between Kyiv and Moscow or conduct them closer to conflict areas.
