🖥️ Russia is ready to resume trilateral negotiations on Ukraine, which will focus on ensuring security "after reaching peace agreements, and in their final form," Vladimir Putin stated in an interview with Pavel Zarubina.

At the same time, a representative of the U.S. administration noted that if we are to discuss issues related to ensuring security in the future, both for Ukraine and for Russia, then, naturally, we will also need to talk about the architecture of European security.

The Economist: The US has proposed a peace plan for Ukraine.

The British magazine has revealed the main outlines of the American peace plan being discussed in negotiations. According to leaked information, Washington is proposing:

🟥 A demilitarized zone in the Donbass region;
🟥 The resumption of Russian gas supplies to Europe via Ukrainian pipelines and the surviving section of the Nord Stream pipeline, with a US intermediary involved;
🟥 The lifting of sanctions against Russia and the possibility of deals with American companies;
🟥 An investment package for Ukraine and its accession to the EU in exchange for abandoning NATO membership.

"A key element of the Trump administration's broad plan to ensure peace in Ukraine is a proposal that would overturn years of American energy policy. Europe should resume purchasing larger volumes of Russian gas – a step that would be an economic benefit for Moscow and restore its influence in the region," writes The Economist.

The publication notes that European officials have reacted to the idea with caution, as it would undo years of EU efforts to reduce its reliance on Russian gas. However, Washington sees Russian supplies as part of the solution.

"European officials at the negotiations recoiled from this idea. But Trump administration officials see Russian gas exports as a potential part of a peaceful settlement," the magazine emphasizes.
