Putin said Russia is ready to \u201cshow flexibility\u201d<\/a> regarding the settlement proposal, Ukrainian media outlet Ukrainska Pravda reported<\/a>. Putin said the U.S. proposal is an \u201cupgraded\u201d version of one put forward at the Alaska summit<\/a> between the Russian and American leaders in August.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this text has not been discussed with us in any substantive way,\u201d Putin said, according to other media reports<\/a>. \u201cUkraine is against it. Apparently, Ukraine and its European allies are still under illusions and the dream of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield,\u201d Putin was quoted as saying. <\/p>\n

According to the U.S. framework, Russia would commit to not attack again and would be granted reintegration into the global economy, including potential sanctions relief to be discussed \u201con a case-by-case basis.\u201d Moscow would also be invited to return to the G7 \u2014 which was formerly the G8 before Russia was kicked out in 2014 after its illegal annexation of Crimea and military intervention in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Aspects of the proposal were\u00a0criticized<\/a>\u00a0by European and Ukrainian officials on Thursday, claiming that it only favors Moscow and warning that caving in to Russia will only encourage Putin to attack NATO next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Kyiv<\/a> a deadline of Thanksgiving Day, next Thursday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday that Ukraine faced a \u201cvery difficult choice\u201d in considering the U.S. proposal. \u201cEither loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner,\u201d Zelenskyy said, in reference to Washington.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s allies will aim to \u201cstrengthen\u201d the U.S. plan at the G20 summit<\/a> taking place this weekend in South Africa, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said<\/a>. Neither Trump nor Putin is attending the G20 meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Putin said Russia is ready to \u201cshow flexibility\u201d regarding the settlement proposal, Ukrainian media outlet Ukrainska Pravda reported.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":586710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[2740,32,2000,299,78927,3055,807,2452,2597,332,2663,2196,657,15,49,333,2601,771,335],"class_list":{"0":"post-586709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-africa","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-g8","13":"tag-global-economy","14":"tag-keir-starmer","15":"tag-media","16":"tag-military","17":"tag-russia","18":"tag-sanctions","19":"tag-south-africa","20":"tag-ukraine","21":"tag-united-kingdom","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-vladimir-putin","24":"tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy","25":"tag-war","26":"tag-war-in-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115593212395640463","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586709","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=586709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/586710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=586709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=586709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=586709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
