Negotiations between the USA and Russia on ending the war in Ukraine
According to Bloomberg agency, the USA and Russia are actively working on an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, which will cement the occupation of the specified territories by Russian troops.
According to the publication, Russian and American officials are preparing a plan for a future meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, which may take place in the near future.
Putin insists that Ukraine must concede the entire eastern Donbas. This would mean the withdrawal of troops from the Luhansk and Donetsk regions currently controlled by the Ukrainian authorities
According to sources, Russia is ready to cease its advance in the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions along the lines of contact, although the issue of occupied territories remains open.
'Europe is concerned that it will have to oversee the ceasefire while Putin consolidates his positions again', - this could become an important victory for Putin in the negotiations and affect Europe's and Ukraine's stance on this situation.
Reports of active negotiations between Russia and the USA indicate a possible breakthrough in resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Discussions about the possibility of ending the war and the occupation of territories reflect the concerns of both parties and the search for a compromise solution, although many issues remain unresolved
