Putin willing to discuss Ukraine ceasefire with Trump but rules out major concessions

odt.co.nz

Vladimir Putin is willing to discuss a ceasefire in Ukraine with Donald Trump, but he will not make major territorial concessions. He insists Ukraine must abandon its NATO ambitions. This marks a shift as Trump prepares to return to the White House. Putin's terms include freezing the conflict along current front lines and possibly negotiating control over four eastern regions. Russia currently controls significant territory in Ukraine, but the situation remains complex, with ongoing military actions and recent missile strikes by Ukraine. While Russia may consider security guarantees for Ukraine, it opposes NATO membership and troop presence. A lasting peace deal is seen as challenging due to the differing positions of both sides.
