The Russian Federation “returned” five regions and Crimea during the war.
Currently, the country of the aggressor is not trying to absorb the whole of Ukraine, because she has already received what she wanted from the very beginning. A special representative of the United States in the Middle East Stephen Witkoff said this in an interview with journalist Ter Carlson.
The Russians also received what they wanted. They “returned” these five regions. They have Crimea, and they got what they need. Why else do they have anything? He said.
Official emphasized that Crimea and Donbas, Lugansk and two other regions are the greatest obstacles to the settlement of the war that began Russia. This is a very positive conversation.
They, telling the Russians, were referenda in which the vast majority of people showed that they want to be under Russian rule. I think this is a key issue of the conflict, ”the official said.
According to Vitcoff, the ultimate goal of negotiations between the United States, Ukraine and the Russian Federation is to achieve a 30-day truce, during which the parties will discuss the possibility of a complete ceasefire.
The specialist also noted that the elections in Ukraine were necessary, and Ukraine has already agreed to keep them. The US representative said that the President of Ukraine VolodyMyr Zelenskyy is now “in a very difficult situation”, because during the war with Russia “he should know what he can win”. That is why, according to Whitkoff, now the best moment for Zelensky is to conclude an agreement, and Trump can “give him the best proposal that he will receive when he receives.”
He also added that the Russian Federation does not recognize the legal president of Zelensky and is not ready to sign some kind of contract with him.
