US EditionTrump Reverses on the Need for a Ceasefire Before Potential Peace in Ukraine
Putin demands Ukraine surrender Donetsk and Luhansk regions and offers to freeze fighting in southern territories if conditions are met, while Ukraine rejects territorial concessions.
- During the August 15 summit with US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted that Ukraine must relinquish control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the east as a prerequisite for halting the conflict.
- This demand followed ongoing conflict with Russia controlling nearly all of Luhansk and about 70 percent of Donetsk, while Ukraine firmly rejected ceding territory, emphasizing sovereignty and territorial integrity.
- Putin promised to halt advances and maintain the current positions in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions if his conditions were fulfilled, while Trump seemed to support moving toward a lasting peace agreement rather than simply achieving a ceasefire.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky planned to meet Trump on Monday in Washington to discuss ending the war, stating he would address details about stopping the killings, but has previously rejected territorial concessions as 'unserious'.
- Despite nearly three hours of talks, the summit ended without a peace deal, leaving the complex negotiations unresolved amid pressure from European leaders for careful diplomacy prioritizing peace over prolonged conflict.
