Putin on Peace with the USA: Recognition of Crimea and Donbas is a Key Condition

Vladimir Putin's Comments on the US Peace Initiative

According to ХВИЛЯ: Vladimir Putin commented on the US peace initiative, expressing readiness for negotiations but emphasizing the importance of recognizing Russian sovereignty over Crimea and Donbas. These issues, in his opinion, are key points in negotiations with the United States. Putin noted that Donald Trump's plan could serve as a basis for future agreements between the countries.

Demands and Prospects for Negotiations

Furthermore, Putin expressed the demand that Ukrainian troops must leave the territories they control to cease hostilities. He also pointed out that due to this, the signing of a legally binding agreement is currently impossible. US Special Envoy Steven Vitkoff plans to visit Moscow next week to discuss the peace plan, which could be an important step in the further development of relations between Russia and the USA.

Putin's comments indicate that negotiations between Russia and the USA may be complicated by disagreements over key issues, such as the status of Crimea and Donbas. The importance of the US special envoy's visit may indicate attempts to find a compromise in a situation that has persisted for several years and influence stability in the region.
