Putin proposed freezing the front line
During important negotiations in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an unexpected proposal. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He suggested stabilizing the situation by freezing the front line in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Axios reported this.
According to sources, the American delegation assumed that Putin expressed readiness to stop the fighting but wanted to keep the Donbass region under Russian control in return. This idea caused significant debates during the negotiations.
At the meeting, the Kremlin leader tried to convince Donald Trump, emphasizing that if the Russian armed forces wished, they could fully control the entire Donbass and other ongoing conflict areas. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly opposed these views.
According to him, Putin is deliberately misrepresenting the situation on the front line, and the reality is completely different. Zelensky stated that Russia is trying to impose favorable conditions on itself through this approach.
It is worth recalling that earlier Donald Trump said recognizing the entire Donbass as Russian territory could allow for a quicker peace agreement. In conclusion, the negotiations in Alaska further intensified tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Although Putin's proposal to freeze the front line may seem like a practical solution to some, Zelensky's sharp objection could complicate the path to an agreement.
