US and Russia Plan Truce Deal to Cement Putin’s Gains in Ukraine

UKRAINE, AUG 8 – The truce would freeze conflict lines, securing Russian control over key Ukrainian regions, while the U.S. seeks broader peace despite Ukraine's refusal to cede territory, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Russian and U.S. officials are finalizing details for a meeting to discuss halting the war and territorial arrangements.
  • Since 2014, parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions have been under Russian occupation, and President Vladimir Putin demands Ukraine cede these areas and Crimea.
  • This past week, the agreement aims to freeze the war and pave the way for a ceasefire, covering the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions and halting Russia’s offensive along current battlelines.
  • Meanwhile, Europe fears it would be left to monitor a ceasefire as Putin rebuilds forces, while the United States works to get buy-in from Ukraine and its European allies on the deal.
  • Next week, U.S. and Russian officers are working toward an agreement that would require President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to withdraw troops from parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, potentially impacting Ukraine's territorial stance.
