Trump claims a peace deal with Russia: why the plan is unlikely to be approved by the Kremlin.
According to ТСН: U.S. President Donald Trump is creating the impression that Ukraine and Russia may be close to reaching an agreement, claiming that Moscow allegedly agreed to some concessions. However, Sky News analyst Ivor Bennett believes that the updated peace plan is unlikely to receive the Kremlin's approval.
Comments from Russian leadership
Bennett explains his position by stating that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that if the plan undermines 'key agreements', it will be 'a fundamentally different situation'. Although he did not elaborate on his opinion, it suggests that Russia is not ready to accept this proposal.
The updated agreement discards the main concessions of the initial plan, which were important for Russia, and these requirements significantly cross all of Ukraine's 'red lines'.
Trump's envoy visit
Currently, all eyes are on the visit of Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow next week, where he will try to garner Russia's support for the new 'peace plan'. However, as Bennett emphasizes, the American official is unlikely to return home with approval.
Statements from Russian representatives
Recall that Trump previously claimed that everyone
'is very close to a peace deal.'He noted that the path to an agreement is difficult but possible, emphasizing progress in negotiations.
Russian leader's assistant Yuri Ushakov commented on the 'positive' aspects of the 'peace plan', although details were not specified. According to him, Moscow has not yet received an official peace plan, but there are 'unofficial papers'. It seems that Russia has 'several options' for an agreement, which may cause confusion.
This situation indicates the complex process of international negotiations, which are often accompanied by changes in positions and interpretations. Witkoff's visit to Moscow could be an important event that will determine the further steps of both countries in seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict. With a high probability, the results of these negotiations will influence the attitude of the international community towards the question of peace in the region.
