The United States has proposed changing the administrative borders of Ukrainian regions so that Vladimir Putin can declare his territorial goals achieved without handing over cities still controlled by Ukraine to Russia. The idea is one of the concessions the US side is trying to interest the Kremlin in a peace deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time, the Donald Trump administration’s rush to end the war could play into Moscow’s favor. It gives Russia the opportunity to make new demands and drag out negotiations without ceasing hostilities.<\/p>\n

This is stated<\/a> in the article of The Economist.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, American negotiators also proposed other steps to persuade Putin to make agreements. In particular, they discussed Russia’s return to European energy markets. Ukraine and its European partners oppose this idea, as it contradicts the European Union’s policy of abandoning Russian energy sources.<\/p>\n

However, territorial issues are not the only problem. The parties still do not have a common vision of security guarantees for Ukraine. Kyiv insists on reliable mechanisms for protection against a new attack, while Moscow does not agree to the deployment of multinational forces in Ukraine and continues to demand refusal to join NATO and a reduction in the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n

Another controversy concerns Europe’s future security. Washington proposes discussing it in parallel with the terms of the end of the war. Ukrainian and European officials fear that this would allow Russia to make additional demands and delay the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow has prepared a document with its vision for a new security architecture in Eurasia. This indicates that the Kremlin is seeking to take the negotiations beyond the issue of ending the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In Kiev, according to The Economist, Putin is not believed to be ready to quickly conclude a comprehensive peace agreement. Russia may use the negotiation process to advance new demands while its troops continue their offensive.<\/p>\n

Recall that in Abu Dhabi (UAE), the delegations of Ukraine, the United States, and Russia have moved to a trilateral format of negotiations<\/a> . The parties plan to discuss key issues of cessation of hostilities and the approach of peace.<\/p>\n

As reported, the meeting will take place under US mediation after a nine-month hiatus. However, the issue of a ceasefire will not be discussed this time.<\/a><\/p>\n
