The Alaska Summit, which was supposed to be crucial for Ukraine and Europe, offered the Russian president a spectacular return to the international scene without leaving or going at a break in hostilities, even less in new sanctions directed to Russia.
The US president even supports a proposal of Russia that strengthens his presence in eastern Ukraine, a responsible for telephone exchanges between Donald Trump and European leaders to the AFP.
Towards territories sales?
According to this anonymous source, the Russian president “in fact as a fact that Ukraine leaves the DonBass” and, therefore, completely produces this territory that brings together the regions of Donetsk and Lougansk in eastern Ukraine. It also offers a front gel in the regions of Kherson and Zaporijjia.
A few months after launching his invasion of Ukraine, Russia had proclaimed in September 2022 the annexation of these four Ukrainian regions, even if their troops still do not control any entirely.

Donald Trump mentioned in the benefit of kyiv a security security similar to that of article 5 of NATO, apart from the framework of the Atlantic Alliance, considered by Moscow as an existential threat that extends at its borders.

After three and a half years of the bloodiest conflict in Europe since World War II, the Russian army held about 20% of the Ukrainian territory, almost the entire Lagansk region and a large part of the Donetsk region, where its progression has recently accelerated. This is not the case with the regions of Zaporijjia and Kherson, whose main urban centers are still under Ukrainian control.
The abandonment of Donald Trump of the stage of a truce seems to promote Vladimir Putin, who wants to directly negotiate a global and final agreement. kyiv and his European allies on the contrary denounce a way to save time to continue their offensive and expand their territorial conquests.
