Putin continues to try to gain control over some regions of Ukraine, offering a limited ceasefire but refusing to completely halt hostilities. At the same time, the US is proposing to freeze the conflict on the terms of easing sanctions and new economic agreements with Russia, but this proposal has been rejected. During the negotiations between the US special envoy and Putin, misunderstandings arose, to which the Ukrainian government responded with the words: 'Vitkoff does not understand what he is talking about.'
The latest events indicate a rapid deterioration of the situation in Ukraine, where it is difficult to achieve a peaceful resolution to the conflict due to the differing views and approaches of well-known political leaders.
