The issue of occupied territories in peace talks about Ukraine – what is known
On April 22, AXIOS, citing sources, wrote that Donald Trump presented a “final proposal” on the peaceful settlement of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. It includes the “de jure” recognition of the US control of Russia in Crimea and “de facto” recognition of occupation by Russia of Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. The plan also excludes Ukraine’s accession to NATO and provides for sanctions against the Russian Federation.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine does not recognize the occupation of Crimea.
On April 23, Trump stated that Volodymyr Zelenskyy “complicates” negotiations with his statements about the Crimea, and the situation for Ukraine is “terrible”. He added that Zelensky’s statement that Ukraine never legally recognizes the Russian occupation of Crimea, “causes serious harm to peace talks with Russia, because Crimea was lost many years ago.”
On April 25, The Times wrote that the issues of occupied territories that should remain Russia are unchanged in Trump’s plans. The US may get out of the negotiation process next week if Zelensky does not accept these conditions.
