A proposal for a "free economic zone" in parts of the Donbas region has been made, with some reports suggesting it is contingent on a Ukrainian pullback. There are conflicting reports on Ukraine's stance on the proposal, with some outlets indicating Ukrainian officials have rejected it, while others suggest the country's leader is open to the idea. The proposal may also involve renaming a part of the Donbas, with some outlets referencing a potential name change to "Donnyland", although the details and status of the proposal are unclear.
