From the fresh information that Reuter's agency has reached, these were not the only conditions for peace. The Russian leader was besides to request the formal designation of the occupied Crimea as the territory of the Russian Federation and the abolition of economical sanctions.
The Friday Trump-Putin summit at the American Anchorage military base in Alaska may be recorded in past as the first step towards peace in Ukraine. On Monday another gathering was planned – the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski will arrive in Washington. The next Friday – possibly – will be the tripartite gathering of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leaders.
How will the war end? It is almost certain that Ukraine will gotta hand over part of its territory to Russia, due to the fact that honour is actually controlled by the Russian army. From the first reports after the Alaska summit, we learned that Vladimir Putin offered to retreat all soldiers from the Kharkiv and Sumsian circuits. In return, Ukraine would gotta quit all Donbas, or Luhanski and Donetsk circuits – lands for which Ukrainians have been fighting the Russians since 2014. Putin besides stressed that Russia would not agree to join NATO, but, as we know from later reports, Moscow would agree to station Western troops in that country.
Reuter's agency reports that these are not the only conditions – let's remind you, for freezing the conflict – which the Kiev Kremlin puts. In addition to the fresh territorial conquests, Russia besides demands the formal designation of the occupied Crimea as Russian territory and the abolition of all sanctions imposed on Russia after the attack on Ukraine in February 2022.
