For a long time, there has been a difficult war in Ukraine. Finding a peaceful solution has been very hard. Previous attempts at peace talks had stalled, meaning they stopped making progress and came to a standstill. [3, 11] This left many feeling that the conflict would not end.
However, Ukraine's president has now proposed a new plan. He wants to revive the peace talks that were managed by a previous American government. [5, 8] To revive something means to bring it back to life or make it active again. This is a significant move to restart the conversation about peace.
This new proposal is a major effort to find a diplomatic solution. An effort is a determined attempt to do something, and this shows a strong desire to stop the fighting. [1, 16] While success is not guaranteed, it represents a crucial step forward.
These actions are being called 'faint signs of life.' It means that even though the hope for peace was weak, it is now showing signs of becoming stronger. This renewed effort provides a small but important reason to be optimistic about ending the war.
