US President’s Plan for Ukraine: A Deal “Set in Stone”
The US President’s plan to allow Vladimir Putin to keep the occupied territories in Ukraine is “set in stone,” the Times reported on Saturday.
It is understood that flexibility remains in place over the recognition of Crimea as Russian, and the Times reported that President Zelensky is not under pressure “to sign away Ukrainian sovereignty.”
“Trump’s view is that this land has been seized and it is not going back,” the source told the Times.
“The deal on the table is that the Russian-occupied territory is going to remain occupied. That part is set in stone.”
