Striking offer from Putin to Trump!

Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly laid out his conditions for ending the Ukraine war in his latest meeting with US President Donald Trump. According to the Washington Post, citing high-ranking US officials, Putin outlined his demands regarding the Donetsk region in his latest phone call with Trump. The report also reported that Putin told Trump that he viewed the complete handover of control of the Donetsk region from Ukraine to Moscow as a condition for ending the war.

Putin reportedly proposed that the transfer of the Donetsk region to Russia be a key condition for ending the war. No information was released regarding Trump's response to this request. US President Donald Trump reportedly made no mention of the Donetsk request in his statement regarding the meeting.

According to the report, US officials noted that Putin is eager to seize Donetsk from Ukraine, which served as a buffer zone against Moscow's seizure of Kiev during the Russia-Ukraine War, and that he has not abandoned this desire. The officials emphasized that this situation makes ending the war more difficult.

According to the report, Putin told Trump he was prepared to surrender parts of Zaporizhia and Kherson, two other Ukrainian regions he had partially seized, in exchange for full control of Donetsk. This offer reportedly sparked international speculation that Moscow was aiming to strengthen its position in the war and achieve diplomatic gains.

Trump, who announced that he will meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, in two weeks, is expected to react to the situation. Ukrainian officials have previously stated that they firmly oppose Moscow's demands regarding Donetsk.
