The competitive European-Ukrainian proposal stipulates that the issues of control over territories will be discussed only after the ceasefire is reached.
« Trump’s view is this: this land was captured and it will not return. The agreement that is now proposed is that the territory occupied by Russia will remain under its control.
According to the source, the United States believes that if Ukraine rejects this agreement, the war will last another month or even years, while Kiev will depend on the financing and supply of weapons from Europe.
« Reduction of US funding will have the same effect as a reduction in the supply of weapons (this year – ed.), Because Ukraine uses these funds to purchase weapons from other allies, » the source said.
When asked whether it is a « reception or left » option, the source replied that the US is considering the situation as « reception or reception ».
Literally: « American officials also believe that public opinion in Europe can change – against large -scale expenses for support of Ukraine, especially against the background of probable recession in the EU, partially caused by Trump’s tariffs. »
Details: After the three -hour talks of Vitcoff with Putin in Moscow on Friday, April 25, the assistant of the Russian ruler in international politics, Yuri Ushakov, who was also present at the meeting, called negotiations constructive and useful.
