The US expects an answer on Wednesday (23) to a peace plan that includes unofficial recognition of Russian control of almost all areas occupied since the start of the war in Ukraine in 2022, Axios said on Tuesday (22), citing sources with direct knowledge of the proposal.
According to Axios, according to the proposal, which was presented last week, the US would suspend the sanctions imposed on Russia since 2014 and would return a small part of Russia -occupied Kharkiv to Ukraine.
The site report added that the Zaporizehzia nuclear plant would be considered as Ukrainian territory, but operated by the US, with electricity supply to both Ukraine and Russia.
Both Kiev and Moscow accused each other mutually for thousands of attacks that violated the truce that Kremlin indicated on Sunday (20) that would not be extended.
Washington said he would welcome a truce, and President Volodymyr Zelensky has reiterated several times Ukraine’s willingness to suspend attacks for 30 days in the war.
But Putin, who launched the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and ordered on Saturday (19) the interruption of all military activity at the front line until midnight on Sunday (20), Moscow time, gave no orders to extend it.
Zelensky said on Monday morning that his forces were instructed to continue to imitate the actions of the Russian army.
US President Donald Trump, hoping to close a lasting peace agreement, showed optimism on Sunday (20), saying that “I hope” that both sides reach an agreement “this week” to end the conflict.
On Friday (18), Trump and his secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said the US would abandon peace efforts unless there were clear signs of progress soon.
