Putin appealed to the United States with a request to recognize Russia’s sovereignty over Ukraine territories, which could be controlled by the Russian Federation as a result of peace agreements.
US president Donald Trump aims to arrange a Tripartite meeting with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on August 22, reports on Saturday, August 16, the publication of Axios, which refers to resources.
According to media reports, Trump said of his goal on Saturday during a conversation with Zelensky and European leaders after negotiating with Putin.
According to Axios, during Trump’s meeting and his special messenger Steve Witkoff introduced Zelensky and representatives of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, NATO and the European Commission in the Russian position.
So, in particular, Putin is said to have announced a request for Ukraine in the two regions – the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk claimed by the Russian Federation, as well as freezing the front line in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. The publication now remembers that Russia is holding a significant part of the Luhansk region and, about three quarter of Donetsk.
According to resources, Putin announced his readiness to stop offensive actions in Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions as part of a compromise, but in fact, Russian troops have not been promoting some time in these regions. The American side has been the impression that Russia considers the possibility of negotiations in some sections of the Sumy and Kharkov regions under their control.
Resources reported that Putin passed a request to the United States to identify Russia’s sovereignty over Ukraine territories, which could control the Russian Federation following peace agreements. In addition, he announced his readiness to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, indicating China’s possible participation as a guarantee, which may mean denial of NATO’s military existence.

Remember that at a meeting in Alaska, the main topic of negotiations was the Russian war against Ukraine. According to the results of the summit, Trump said there was no ceasefire agreement, but it seemed like “there is a very good opportunity to reach permission.”
Trump also announced the possibility of organizing a tripartite meeting in his participation, Zelensky and Putin to complete the war in Ukraine.
