Freeze the front under certain conditions? Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed in the United States to stop his invasion of Ukraine and freeze the first line in current positions, said Financial Times (FT) on Tuesday, April 22. What Kremlin’s spokesman denies.
According to The Daily, which cites “people who are the case”, Vladimir Putin formulated this proposal during a meeting in St. Petersburg in early April with the US emissary Steve Witkoff, as part of the current negotiations for a high fire in Ukraine.
Cearing Hostilities and freezing in front would, for Russia, to renounce its claim to take control of all Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lougansk, Kherson and Zaporijjia, of which she already occupies large sectors.
According to the sources cited by the FT, the Russian President would be ready for this concession if the United States reaches two of its main demands, such as the recognition of Russia’s sovereignty in the Crimean Peninsula, annexed in 2014, and the non -adhesion of Ukraine.
Russia denies
The spokesman for the presidency of Russia, Dmitri Peskov, swept these statements on Tuesday. “There is a lot of false information published at this time, even in respected publications. That is why it should only be heard from primary sources,” he said, cited by the Russian agency Ria Novosti.
kyiv and his European allies are demanding, on the other hand, a complete return of Ukraine on their borders before 2014, a position that the United States Minister Pete Hegseth had described in February as “unrealistic”.
On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had repeated kyiv’s position on the Crimean Peninsula: “There is nothing to discuss. It is against our Constitution. It is our territory.”
