The Russian authorities have declared that they are ready to negotiate with Donald Trump regarding the situation in Ukraine, but at the same time, the Kremlin is not giving up its territorial claims to four regions of Ukraine. These statements highlight important political narratives that may significantly affect future international relations and the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine.
"Readiness for contacts with Trump remains, it was emphasized by Putin yesterday, but there are no specifics. "Russia's readiness to discuss the settlement of Ukraine with Trump does not involve the adjustment of demands within the framework of Vladimir Putin's peace initiatives, announced on June 14 in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Peskov said.
It will be recalled that at that time Putin voiced as a demand for the end of the war the withdrawal of troops by Ukraine from four of its regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
