VLADIMIR Putin has reportedly offered to halt the bloody frontline invasion of Ukraine in the latest unpredictable move by the dictator.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s seven-point peace plan has also been uncovered, where the Republican has outlined that Russia could keep various land seized from Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mad Vlad apparently told Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff<\/a> that Moscow<\/a> could halt his invasion – and even renounce its claims to areas of four partly-occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv<\/a>‘s control, three sources told the Financial Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

The bombshell, unconfirmed revelation reportedly took place during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier in April.<\/p>\n

Trump and his advisors have since suggested a possible settlement that includes Washington<\/a> recognising Russian ownership of Ukraine<\/a>‘s Crimean peninsula.<\/p>\n

Washington would also have to at least acknowledge the Kremlin<\/a>‘s de facto control over the parts of the four regions it currently holds.<\/p>\n

The reported proposal is the first sign Putin has given that shows he could actually be willing to step back from his radical demands<\/a> to finally end the war.<\/p>\n

European officials briefed on US efforts to end fighting in Ukraine<\/a> warned that Putin would likely use the unpredictable compromise<\/a> as a way of manipulating Trump into accepting Russia<\/a>‘s other demands.<\/p>\n

One official said to the newspaper: “There is a lot of pressure on Kyiv right now to give up on things so Trump can claim victory.”<\/p>\n

But other reports claim that Trump will let Putin keep close to all the territory his cannon fodder troops<\/a> have seized from Zelensky, as outlined in an unconfirmed seven-point plan to end the war, according to the Telegraph.<\/a><\/p>\n

The unbelievable proposal will reportedly be discussed in London<\/a> on Wednesday to see how Kyiv will react – but the proposed plan leaves Ukraine with no clear US security guarantee.<\/p>\n

It includes the US offering formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea while implying de facto recognition of other occupied territories.<\/p>\n

This would result in a freeze of the current devastating frontline – but consequently allows mad Vlad to keep almost all the territory Russia<\/a> has gained.<\/p>\n

However, the plan does cover some points that work in Ukraine’s favour, like Russia giving up two small areas currently occupied by its soldiers, the newspaper adds.<\/p>\n

Ukraine would also regain unrestrained access to the beginning of the Dnieper river while Russia would withdraw from a second area of Kherson province.<\/p>\n

US envoy General Keith Kellogg seeks to gain Ukraine’s approval, and therefore agreement, to the plan on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Witkoff is then to travel to Moscow and present the bombshell plan mad Vlad.<\/p>\n

SEVEN-POINT PLAN<\/p>\n

A source with knowledge of the mysterious plan said that its points one and two involve an immediate ceasefire and intense, direct talks between Ukraine and Russia, the newspaper reports.<\/p>\n

Point three then requires Ukraine to halt its drive to receive Nato<\/a> membership, but the country would still be able to join the EU.<\/p>\n

And European countries could deploy peacekeeping troops to deter the Russian dictator from invading again – but the seven-point plan doesn’t commit the US to guarantee the security of any deployment like this, Telegraph understands.<\/p>\n

Point four then looks at territory, with the US offering legal recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea.<\/p>\n

This would violate a central principle of international law, as well as the post-1945 world order, where no country can annext the territory of another.<\/p>\n

The unconfirmed proposal would freeze the frontline and, in turn, allow Putin to keep close to all of Russia’s gains.<\/p>\n

While it wouldn’t formally recognise those areas as being part of Russia, the newspaper understands that the plan hints as de facto US recognition.<\/p>\n

In the plan, Ukraine’s largest nuclear power<\/a> station at Zaporizhzhia that’s currently held by Russian forces would be handed over to the US.<\/p>\n

In point six, Ukraine would sign the minerals deal to allow US companies to access the country’s rich natural resources.<\/p>\n

And point seven poses the chance of a new relationship between the US and Russia.<\/p>\n

In the plan, all US sanctions would be lifted, and the two sides would discuss co-operating on energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s gathering comes as Donald Trump’s administration continues to drive efforts to find peace between Russia and war-torn Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Trump has suggested he is hopeful the warring parties “will make a deal this week”.<\/p>\n

Can there be peace?<\/p>\n

EARLIER this year it seemed hopeful that world leaders would broker a peace deal in Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But these hopes are wavering as Putin has repeatedly refused to cooperate, instead choosing to ramp up attacks on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Putin’s latest recruitment drive could have huge ramifications for peace with\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0already voicing serious concerns over\u00a0Putin’s\u00a0readiness to agree to a ceasefire in recent days.<\/p>\n

Putin has already angered the US President over refusing to commit to any truce agreement.<\/p>\n

Trump previously admitted he was \u201cp***ed off\u201d with the Russian tyrant after he called for Zelensky’s removal from office in an effort to stall peace.<\/p>\n

In Europe Sir\u00a0Keir Starmer\u00a0and\u00a0Emmanuel Macron\u00a0have put forward an idea to help maintain a\u00a0future\u00a0truce deal by sending their troops to patrol.<\/p>\n

But this proposal has been widely condemned by Putin and his Kremlin pals sparking further Russia-European tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VLADIMIR Putin has reportedly offered to halt the bloody frontline invasion of Ukraine in the latest unpredictable move…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42532,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7655],"tags":[32,2299,714,2301,300,8041,332,184,657,753,49,333,658],"class_list":{"0":"post-42531","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-russia","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-global-politics","10":"tag-joe-biden","11":"tag-moscow","12":"tag-north-america","13":"tag-nuclear-weapons","14":"tag-russia","15":"tag-section-newsworld-news","16":"tag-ukraine","17":"tag-ukraine-war","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-vladimir-putin","20":"tag-volodymyr-zelensky"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114384615854445251","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
