Russia is reportedly easing their territorial calls for for peace.
Within the few hours because the historic Alaska assembly between Donald J. Trump and Vladimir Putin, myriads of articles have been written within the MSM, principally making an attempt to discredit the US-Russia peace negotiations, in addition to planting false details about what occurred behind the scenes.
Nonetheless, some stories have arisen that bear all of the markings of precise intel, suggesting that Putin is asking for rather less for peace than a 12 months in the past.
I first discovered this suggestion 5 days in the past within the Italian Corriere Della Sera, which interviewed Russian scholar Dmitry Suslov, deputy director on the Increased Faculty of Economics and a long-time international coverage adviser to the Kremlin.
“I do not forget that a 12 months in the past Moscow had requested the Ukrainians for the whole withdrawal from all 4 annexed provinces, whereas now it’s only asking for that from the Donbas. A vital a part of the settlement is Ukraine’s dedication to not be a part of NATO.”

Right this moment, the Financial Times reported one thing alongside these strains:
“Vladimir Putin has demanded Ukraine withdraw from the Donetsk and Luhansk areas as a situation for ending Russia’s struggle however informed Donald Trump he might freeze the remainder of the frontline if his core calls for have been met.
The Russian chief made the request throughout his assembly with Trump in Alaska on Friday, in line with 4 individuals with direct data of the talks.
Trump then communicated that message to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders in a name on Saturday, throughout which he urged them to drop efforts to safe a ceasefire from Moscow.”

“In alternate for Donetsk and Luhansk, Putin mentioned he would freeze the frontline within the southern areas of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, the place his forces occupy massive swathes of land, and to not launch new assaults to take extra territory, in line with three of the individuals conversant in the talks.”
CNN reported Trump was indignant at Putin after the assembly
