While peace negotiations continue, they say The United States would be willing To recognize the illegal annexation from Crimea to Russia To advance the freezing of the lines of war with Ukraine and achieve the stop the fire, as the Washington Post said Tuesday. sources involved in the treatment.
In case of yielding to this attack on its territory, Ukraine I would get Security guarantees and reconstruction programs for the country. For its part, Russia would leave the conflict without sanctions from the United States.
The American newspaper also reported that this proposal has already been presented to the government of Ukraine in Paris Last week and will be discussed on Wednesday with authorities from other nations such as Great Britain, France and the Americans themselves during a meeting that will take place in London.
New diplomatic attempt to end war in Ukraine
More than three years from the beginning of the fight, diplomatic efforts grow to reach a high fire agreement. The hostility between the parties had already been unleashed in 2014 when Russia illegally annexed the Ukrainian Peninsula of Crimea to its territory and on February 24, 2022 the war effectively began.
However, for the moment the diplomatic negotiations failed to reach a point of agreement between both nations and Donald Trump warned last week that the conflict is approaching “a critical point.” In turn, he remarked that none of the parties is “manipulating” in his attempts to end the war.
For their part, mediating countries recognize that it is unlikely that Ukraine can resume the control of the territories occupied by Moscow in the near future. The best scenario for kyiv is to stop the hurry of Russia For reaching an agreement that allows you to keep the territories without sanctions and without excessive benefits for Ukraine.
“There is concern that Trump Being trying to press the Ukrainians and has not been hard enough with Russia, ”said Mujtaba Rahman, managing director of Eurasia Group, a political risk consultant.“ The key question is now: What does Ukraine get in exchange for giving part of its territory? ”
The offer of USA in Paris to recognize a Crimea It occurred after the special envoy Steve Witkoff visited Moscow this month for a meeting of several hours with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. The envoy is expected to visit Moscow again at the end of this week.
One of the informed people about the proposal described her as “Witkoff idea” that the United States called Crimea “Russian” “without forcing Ukraine to recognize her.”
In an awkward position, Ukraine will be forced to analyze the United States proposal
In any case, it will be difficult for Ukraine to access this proposal, especially considering that the annexation of Crimea in 2014 gave way to other future aggressions to the Ukrainian territory that finally led to the outbreak of large -scale invasion in 2022.
“If what the media reports is true, it is sad and dangerous,” said Ukrainian parliamentarian Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze to Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday. “It means that the United States does not seek just and lasting peacebut it intends to announce a temporary truce in exchange for concessions to the aggressor, presenting it as a great achievement of the United States, ”he added.
For his part Zelenski, although he still does not give up his goal that Ukraine recovers control over Crimea, recognized in recent times the limitations facing his army.
“We don’t have enough forces to recover Crimea,” he told the press last year. “Our army does not have enough forces. We must look for diplomatic paths,” he added.
