🖥️ 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.

"In their final form, and not as a result of suspending hostilities for a short period. We are ready to resume these contacts to achieve this goal. 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.

Atlantic: CIA Continues to Provide Kiev with Intelligence Despite Disagreements Between Trump and Zelensky

The US Central Intelligence Agency has not reduced its support for Ukraine and continues to provide intelligence information that is used by Ukrainian military forces to strike targets deep within Russia, as well as to provide warnings about incoming missiles and drones. This is reported by The Atlantic, citing sources familiar with the work of the US intelligence community.

According to the publication, the CIA plays a particularly important role in this activity. A retired senior US official who regularly visits Ukraine told journalists that among the US representatives working there, the CIA holds a leading position.

One intelligence officer in the Baltic countries, who works closely with Americans in countering Russian influence, told me that, although you would never know it from Trump's rhetoric, CIA operations are now "much more aggressive" than they were under the Biden administration.

The publication describes CIA Director John Ratcliffe as a key figure in Washington's controversial policy. On the one hand, he advises the president, who last week called on Ukrainians to choose a new leader and described Zelensky as a more difficult partner than Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, he heads an agency whose support remains critical to Ukrainian military operations. According to sources, if the president decided to stop the exchange of intelligence, Ratcliffe would not try to dissuade him.

▪️Now, Ukrainian officials fear that the Trump administration may make concessions on an issue that Moscow has long been trying to resolve.
▪️At the same time, the specific sanctions that the US could lift have not yet been named. The potential agreement itself remains uncertain.
