Details: In the publication, the Russian “Kommersant” notes that on December 25, Putin held a traditional pre-New Year’s meeting of the State Council, which this time was devoted to personnel training issues. But according to the publication, his correspondent, like all members of the State Council, did not focus on this.
According to Kommersant, Vladimir Putin mostly talked about the negotiation process with the USA and Ukraine regarding the peace plan.
Literally from the publication “Kommersant”: “He (Putin – ed.) talked about the agreements in Anchorage, about the plan of the American side and about what positions were then, one might say, agreed on the fly. And that the Americans withdrew from some of their own proposals as a result of negotiations with the Europeans. And that this is a weakness.”
Details: “Kommersant” noted that Putin claimed that the Russian side is still ready to make the concessions he accepted for himself at that time in Anchorage.
Literally from the “Kommersant” publication: “In other words, we are talking about the fact that “Donbas is ours”. It was said that “the issue of belonging to the Kramatorsk-Kostiantynivsk-Slovyansk junction is not being discussed”. But otherwise, a partial exchange of territories from the Russian side is not excluded either.”
Details: In addition, Putin, according to Kommersant, did not hide the fact that the issue of joint management of the Zaporizhzhia NPP with the American side (and not with the Ukrainian side) is being discussed.
Literally from the publication “Kommersant”: “American colleagues, for example, expressed interest in mining at the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Electricity supplies to Ukraine are also being discussed at the initiative of the American side. Also, Putin said, he was asked whether Ukrainian specialists could work at the NPP, and he replied that they are working there now, as before, it’s just that their passports are now Russian.”
We will remind: A meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage ended without an agreement or declaration of a ceasefire in Ukraine, despite claims of “significant progress”.
After this meeting between Trump and Putin in the “three on three” format and their joint press conference, the joint lunch of the delegations was canceled.
In the printer of the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, documents marked with the US State Department were found regarding the details of the preparations for the meeting of the US and Russian delegations on August 15.
Prehistory:
- At the end of November, Putin said that “the hostilities in Ukraine will stop when the Armed Forces of Ukraine leave the territories occupied by them in Donbas.”
- In addition, Putin also stated that the legal recognition of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions as territories of the Russian Federation should become one of the key issues in the negotiations with the USA.
