Details on the Agreement Being Planned by the U.S. and Russia

The U.S. and Russia are discussing the possibility of a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine that would reinforce Moscow's control over Crimea and eastern Donbas, potentially compelling Kyiv to withdraw from the parts of Luhansk and Donetsk that are still under Ukrainian control. This was reported by Bloomberg, citing its sources.

It is noted that U.S. and Russian officials are working on an agreement regarding the territories in anticipation of a meeting next week between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, according to the publication's anonymous sources.

The U.S. is working to secure agreement from Ukraine and its European allies on the terms of a deal that, according to sources, remains uncertain. Putin is demanding that Ukraine cede all of its eastern Donbas territories, as well as Crimea.

There is a demand that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky orders the withdrawal of troops from the parts of Luhansk and Donetsk regions still held by Kyiv.

Within the framework of the agreement, Russia would cease its offensive operations in Ukraine's Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions along the current lines of combat. They have warned that the terms and plans of the agreement are still subject to change and may evolve.
