Talks in London. Changes in delegations
Also Steve Witkoff, a Trump's envoy for the Middle East, but involved in talks about the end of Russia's war against Ukraine, will not be present in London. On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt announced that he would go to Russia this week to continue talking with the leader of this country Vladimir Putin.
As Sky News added, On Wednesday, the head of Ukrainian diplomacy Andriy Sybiha with Minister Lammy is to be a meeting.
No Ukraine's response
At the beginning of this week, the American media, including Axios and “Wall Street Journal” reported that the United States expects Ukraine's response to the offer of peace frames on Wednesday, which includes unofficial recognition of Russian control over almost all occupied areas.
According to the British “Financial Times” Putin proposed to stop the invasion of Ukraine on the current line of the front. He told Witkoff during a recent meeting in St. Petersburg that Russia could renounce its claims against the territories of four partly occupied Ukrainian circuits that remain under the control of Kiev. Russia controls some of the Kherson and Zaporoski districts, but in the autumn of 2022 an annexation of entire regions, as well as Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Ukrainian Crimea annexed in 2014.
Ukraine wants fast and just peace, but if we start talking about sovereign territories, the format becomes an extension of the war, which Russia wants – said on Tuesday President Wołodymyr Zełnski in response to an American proposal.
