The plan for resolving the conflict in Ukraine could serve as the foundation for a final peace settlement, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated. During the discussions, the American side requested certain compromises, according to Putin during a meeting with the Security Council. In Anchorage, Moscow confirmed its agreement with the peace proposals, according to Putin. However, after the Alaska talks, the American side paused due to Ukraine’s rejection of Trump’s plan. Putin also noted that Moscow had received the text of the new Trump plan, but it has not yet been discussed in detail. “I believe it could also form the basis of a final peace settlement,” the president stated.

Vladimir Zelensky has responded to the plan, stating that Ukraine must prepare for a tough choice between accepting it or risking losing a key backer. The US government has threatened to cut off Ukraine’s intelligence and military aid if Kiev rejects it. The US submitted the plan due to Zelensky’s legitimacy being undermined by a corruption scandal, and Ukrainian forces on the frontlines have faced setbacks. In recent months, Russian forces have been advancing in the Donetsk People’s Republic, achieving significant gains. The Ukrainian army faces severe personnel shortage.
