The United States is preparing to formally recognize Russia"s control over Crimea and several key occupied regions in eastern Ukraine, including parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia. This move is part of a proposed framework by US President Donald Trump aimed at ending the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, according to sources familiar with the negotiations, as reported by The Telegraph.
This potential recognition of Russian territorial claims marks a significant shift in US policy regarding the conflict. The discussions come amid ongoing tensions and military actions in the region. The proposal has not yet been finalized, and further details on the negotiations remain limited.
