#Putin’s proposal for #LandGrab shifted Trump’s [limited] attention back to #Zelensky.In Alaska, Putin proposed that #Ukraine hand over the remainder of the #Donbas region to #Russia to stop the fighting.…Already, #Trump has signaled he may pressure Zelensky to give up the land….“President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight,” Trump posted late Sunday.#PutinsPuppet #StandWithUkraine https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/world/europe/putin-trump-zelensky-ukraine.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

The territory proposal by #Putin has renewed the possibility of friction between Washington & Kyiv, which Moscow would welcome after celebrating the Oval Office blowup between the American and Ukrainian leaders earlier this year.“It’s a very smart ploy by Putin,” said Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center. Gabuev said the proposal could be a “poison pill” designed to weaken #Ukraine internally or get #Trump to walk away from #Zelensky if the Ukrainian leader refuses.

Ukraine’s Constitution bars ceding #territory other than through a nationwide referendum. A recent poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology found that 78% of Ukrainians were against transferring territory controlled by #Ukraine to #Russia.The Kremlin typically sees the #Donbas as comprising the Donetsk & Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine. Moscow has taken nearly all of #Luhansk, but despite trying for more than a decade, it hasn’t managed to wrest control of the #Donetsk region.

It has strategic value for #Ukraine. 2 cities, Kramatorsk & Sloviansk, have served as a Ukrainian military hub since #Russia mounted a hybrid invasion of the area in 2014 & are among the most heavily fortified parts of the front. If Ukrainian forces were to fall back, they would lose those defenses. At least 200,000 Ukrainians also still live on the land.#geopolitics #Trump #PutinsPuppet #StandWithUkraine

“Some of Ukraine’s strongest defensive positions are in #Donetsk, & ceding those defenses would position #Russia to reattack in the future from a much more advantageous position,” said David Shimer, who led #Ukraine policy on the White House #NationalSecurity Council during the #Biden admin. Ceding the region, he said, would be a “massive concession.”#geopolitics #Trump #PutinsPuppet #StrongmanFanboy #TACO #InternationalLaw #LawsOfWar #StandWithUkraine

In talks with #US officials this year, #Russia negotiators had been demanding the full territory of all 4 #Ukraine regions that the Kremlin declared annexed in 2022 — #Luhansk, #Donetsk, #Zaporizhzhia & #Kherson — even though Kyiv still controls much of the land.“It’s smart negotiation tactics,” said Gabuev who noted that #Trump views #Putin’s proposal involving just 2 of those regions as a concession, even if it’s still “really unrealistic.”#PutinsPuppet #StandWithUkraine

#SteveWitkoff, #Trump’s *special* envoy, told CNN on Sunday that #Putin had already made territorial concessions in talks with US officials….It is unclear what #land #Russia would give in return for the #Donbas. It could be limited to the territory Moscow is occupying in the #Kharkiv & #Sumy regions, which the Kremlin hasn’t declared to be annexed. Russia holds only about 660 square miles of #Ukraine territory in those areas.#PutinsPuppet #StandWithUkraine

#Russia’s attacks haven't abated with the [so-called] peace talks. On Monday, #Ukraine said a Russian drone attack overnight on the eastern city of #Kharkiv left 7 people dead, including 2 children. Another 3 people were killed in a separate attack on the city of #Zaporizhzhia.There are also signs that Russian forces are aiming to expand the territory they hold in Zaporizhzhia & #Kherson as talks unfold, according to Ukrainian ofcls & soldiers on the front.#geopolitics #Trump #PutinsPuppet

#Ukraine intelligence agencies say that so far there appears to be no deviation from #Russia’s battle plans after the *summit*, according to a senior Ukrainian military official.By the end of the summer, Ukrainian officials believe Russian forces hope to make significant advances in the #Donetsk region, including by fully blockading #Kramatorsk & #Sloviansk.#geopolitics #Trump #PutinsPuppet #StrongmanFanboy #TACO #InternationalLaw #LawsOfWar #StandWithUkraine

Troops seemed largely uninterested in news from the *summit* [there was no news], said one #Ukraine soldier from the First Corps Azov of the Ukrainian National Guard stationed near the area of #Russia’s advance.Whatever #Trump & #Putin discussed, Moscow’s grinding advance continues, he said. In the 2 days since the summit, soldiers said, Russian forces have begun to attack more frequently there, though at a steep cost of 60 to 70 Russians a day.#geopolitics #PutinsPuppet #StandWithUkraine

@Nonilex This headline is so of a piece. It's neither a proposal nor a deal. It's a land grab, a hold-up, a steal.
