Details: Although Onet does not name its sources, it says that the proposal was coordinated with European states. “We have learned that Moscow received a very favourable offer from the Trump administration,” the outlet reported.
According to Onet, the US proposal includes:
A ceasefire in Ukraine, though not a full peace agreement.De facto recognition of Russian-occupied territories by postponing the status issue for 49 or 99 years.The lifting of most sanctions imposed on Russia and, in the long term, a return to energy cooperation – namely, imports of Russian gas and oil.
Meanwhile, the proposal reportedly does not include guarantees against NATO expansion – one of Moscow’s consistent demands.
Russia did not receive any promises that military support for Ukraine would cease. However, according to the outlet, this last point is said to be acceptable to the Russians.
