The proposal concerns the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which would be ceded to Russia, according to several diplomatic sources, reports the British Financial Times. In addition, the front line at Cherson and Zaporizjzja would be frozen, which means that Russian military successes would be made permanent.
In the agreement, Ukraine would also hand over the parts of Donetsk that the country still has control over to Russia.
Freezing the lines of conflict
In return, Russia would refrain from demanding the entire Cherson and Zaporizjzja regions. In addition, Russia would promise in writing not to invade other parts of Ukraine or other Western countries.
In addition, the Crimean peninsula would become Russian.
Similar proposals have previously come from the Kremlin, but have been rejected by both Kyiv and EU countries.
The information about the content of the meeting comes from high-ranking European officials who have been informed about the talks between Putin and Trump in Anchorage on Friday.
More to Washington
Ukraine and leading EU countries have consistently opposed proposals for Russian gains in the invasion war in Ukraine. The issue is expected to be highly controversial at the talks at the White House between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj at the White House on Monday.
Several European leaders are considering whether to attend the meeting at the White House on Monday after being invited, reports The New York Times. Ahead of Zelenskyj's visit to Washington, a video meeting is being held, led by French President Emmanuel Macron together with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Finnish President Alexander Stubb is said to participate in Sunday's meeting, according to the President's office website.
