Outline Emerges Of Putin’s Offer To End His War In Ukraine

London, August 16 (Reuters) – Russia would give up the small pockets of the occupied Ukraine and Kiev, and the sources of Moscow, which were discussed by Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump of the Eastern territory of Moscow, under the proposals of peace in Alaska’s thoughts.

The account appeared a day after meeting at an air force base in Alaska, the first encounter between a US president and the Kremlin chief since the beginning of Trump and Putin’s Ukrainian conflict.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy must travel to Washington on Monday to discuss a possible settlement of a full -scale war in which Putin was released in February 2022.

Although the summit could not provide the safety of the ceasefire he wanted, Trump said in an interview with Sean Hannity that he and Putin discussed land transfers and security guarantees for Ukraine and “largely accepted”.

“I think you are quite close to an agreement,” he said: “Ukraine has to accept it. Maybe they say ‘no’.”

The two sources demanding anonymity to discuss sensitive issues, said that Putin’s information about Putin’s suggestions is mostly based on discussions between leaders in Europe, the United States and Ukraine, and that is not complete.

Trump, Zelenskiy and European leaders were informed early on Saturday in the summit discussions.

It was not immediately clear whether Putin’s suggestions were a starting point for negotiations or a more opening gambiti, such as a final offer that was not subject to discussion.

At the nominal value, at least some will create great difficulties for the acceptance of the leadership of Ukraine.

Putin’s proposal rejected the ceasefire until a comprehensive agreement that prevented Zelenskiy’s fundamental demand, which was shot by Russian drones and ballistic missiles every day.

Sources, according to the proposed Russian agreement, Kiev, Russian Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the southern regions of the front lines in exchange for the promise of freezing Eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, he said.

Ukraine refused to withdraw from Ukraine territory, such as Donetsk region, where Kiev’s troops were excavated and said that Kiev served as an important defense structure to prevent Russian attacks in depth.

Sources, Russia’s Northern Sumy and Northeast Kharkiv regions occupied Ukraine territory will be ready to return the relatively small ways, he said.

According to Ukraine’s deep state war area mapping project, Russia is holding the pockets of Sumy and Kharkiv regions, which are 440 km square. Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk, including and demanded by Russia, approximately 6,600 km of square Donbas controls.

Although the Americans did not explain this, the sources said that Russia’s leader – at least Moscow’s Crimea, which was seized by Ukraine in 2014, said that Russian sovereignty was officially recognized.

It was not clear whether this meant recognized by the US government or for example all Western powers and Ukraine. Kyiv and its European allies refuse to officially recognize Moscow’s administration in the Peninsula.

They said that Putin would also expect at least a part of the sanctions in Russia to be removed. However, they could not tell us and whether this was applied to us and the European sanctions.

Trump said on Friday that he did not need to think of retaliation tariffs on countries like China to buy Russian oil subject to a number of Western sanctions, but he said he might have to be “within two or three weeks”.

Sources, Ukraine’s NATO military alliance will also be prohibited, but Putin seems to receive some kind of security guarantee to Ukraine, he said.

However, they added that it was unclear what this means in practice. European leaders said that Trump discussed security guarantees for Ukraine during their speeches on Saturday, and prepared an idea for the “Article 5” style guarantee except for the NATO Military Alliance.

NATO sees any attack initiated in one of the 32 members as an attack on Article 5.

Participating in the Atlantic Alliance is a strategic target for Kyiv in the constitution of the country.

Sources, Russia, as well as Ukraine, as well as the Russian Orthodox Church will demand official status for the Russian language as well as the right to work freely.

Ukraine’s security agency accuses the Church of Moscow as a thing that says that it cuts canonical ties with Moscow to spread pro -Moscow propaganda and housing spies by spreading pro -Moscow spies.

Ukraine passed a law that prohibited religious organizations of Russia and saw the church as a person. However, the ban has not yet started to implement.
