Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly informed former U.S. President Donald Trump that he was willing to ease some of Russia's territorial demands in the Ukraine conflict if Russia were granted full control over the Donetsk region. According to the Financial Times and multiple sources, Putin proposed that Ukraine cede both the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to Russia in exchange for freezing the rest of the front line. This offer suggested a potential partial relaxation of Russia's claims contingent on retaining these key eastern Ukrainian territories.
At a recent meeting with his US counterpart, Russian President Vladimir Putin once again suggested that full control of Donbas was a central criterion for ending the war in Ukraine. Why is the region so important to him? https://t.co/K9IHv8cv9Y
This is a good explainer of Putin’s demand: he wants Ukraine to give up cities and areas he’s not been able to conquer or even come close to conquering. For a promise of a ceasefire. https://t.co/JS4zKdJKQK
Putin’s “land swap” is really a grab for Ukraine’s “fortress belt”, a 30-mile line that comprises four cities and several towns, which stands in the way not only of Russia’s gaining the whole of Donbas, but also of its ability to threaten other regions. https://t.co/zgKRiA8RyM
