Under Trump's agreement, the plan to recognize Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory remains in place
The United States is prepared to acknowledge Russia's control over Crimea and other occupied Ukrainian territories to ensure the achievement of a peace agreement. Trump has dispatched his envoy Sweetkov and son-in-law Kushner to Moscow to directly present this proposal to Putin.
Despite concerns from Ukraine's European allies, the plan to recognize territory may continue, breaking with U.S. diplomatic tradition.
Putin said on Thursday that whether the U.S. would legally recognize Crimea and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as Russian territory would be one of the key issues in the U.S. peace plan negotiations.
In the previously widely criticized "28 points," the U.S. recognition of Russian-occupied territory was part of the content. Multiple sources indicate that the U.S. proposal for recognition in the new "19 points" remains part of the strategy. (Wen Bu Nao)
