The Trump administration indicates that Vladimir Putin's proposal to end the Ukraine conflict involves Ukraine conceding 12 percent of the Donbas regions to Russia, alongside territorial adjustments in Sumy and Kharkiv. However, acceptance of this plan may be difficult for Ukrainians. Trump's team claims advancements in securing a European military guarantee for Ukraine with U.S. backing but no troops present. European leaders are collaborating with President Zelensky in Washington, D.C. to outline this security guarantee, with negotiations on territorial issues to follow if consensus is achieved with Russia.
Under the Trump administration's proposal, Ukraine would concede control of approximately 6,600 square kilometers of the Donbas region to Russia, which includes territory currently not occupied by Russia.
Trump's team suggests that progress has been made on a European security guarantee that could include a military presence inside Ukraine, backed by the United States but without any U.S. troop deployment.
European leaders meeting in Washington, D.C. with President Zelensky aim to establish the specifics of a security guarantee, which could potentially lead to negotiations about territorial issues with Russia.
There is skepticism about whether the optimism expressed by the Trump administration reflects an accurate understanding of the Russian position, indicating a risk of misinterpretation in diplomatic talks.
