Russia has provided the USA with its conditions for a peace agreement with Ukraine, demanding control over all of Donbas and the absence of NATO troops on Ukrainian territory. This raises questions about US President Donald Trump's vision of concluding a peace treaty.
'Such a position effectively excludes US President Donald Trump's vision that the frontline should be fixed in its current state,' emphasizes an American official.
The White House is currently not commenting on the Russian conditions, citing that Trump has not yet decided whether a meeting with Putin will take place. The US President sees a ceasefire along the current front lines as advisable.
Prospects for a meeting between Trump and Putin
Trump and Putin agreed on a future meeting in Hungary, but currently, there are no plans for a summit 'in the near future.' The meeting is expected to take place within a few weeks.
Russia has reiterated its conditions for a peace agreement with Ukraine, putting forward demands that contradict the views of the US President. Meanwhile, against the backdrop of a possible meeting between Trump and Putin, there are no concrete plans for the near future. Observations will be made on how events unfold and what subsequent steps the parties will take.
