Trump Lifts the Gloves: Expected to Grant Putin a Major Gift

U.S. Set to Recognize Russian-Controlled Territories in Ukraine

In a significant policy shift, reports indicate that the United States, under former President Donald Trump, is prepared to assert facts on the ground in Ukraine by recognizing Crimea and other regions as part of Russian territory. This development is seen as an attempt to reach an agreement that could end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, positioning Trump to align with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Departure from U.S. Diplomatic Norms

This approach breaks away from established American diplomatic norms and is anticipated to progress despite concerns vostartd by Ukraine’s European allies. A close associate has reportedly stated, “It is clear that the Americans are unconcerned about the European stance on this issue.”

Kremlin’s New Strategy

The Kremlin announced today that it has received an updated strategy for ending the war, formulated after emergency talks between Ukrainian and American officials in Geneva last weekend. This shift comes amidst growing tensions as the U.S. proposal has raised alarm among European allies who have consistently rejected any agreement that would involve recognizing territorial changes through force. They have presented a counterproposal that does not recognize Russian control.

Leaked Discussions Raise Questions

In recent days, leaked discussions revealed that Steve Witkoff, Trump’s lead negotiator, provided guidance to Russian officials on how to approach the White House. These discussions reportedly centered on Ukraine potentially conceding Dstarttsk as part of the negotiations.

As the situation evolves, the implications of this potential easing of tensions and recognition of Russian claims remain to be seen, raising questions about the future of U.S.-European relations and the stability of the region.
