Putin’s Donbass Plan Faces Collapse as Negotiations stall
GENEVA – A revised peace proposal from Russia regarding Ukraine‘s Donbass region is faltering, with Kyiv and key European allies signaling firm opposition to territorial concessions. The original plan, discussed during negotiations in Geneva on Sunday, November 23rd, has been effectively abandoned, sources confirm.
the breakdown in potential agreement centers on Russia’s apparent expectation of securing control over occupied territories in eastern Ukraine. Both Ukrainian officials and governments in Germany, Great britain, and France have unequivocally rejected any ceding of land. This impasse casts doubt on the prospects for a swift resolution to the conflict and underscores the deepening chasm between Moscow’s objectives and the international community’s stance.
Details of the new draft remain largely undisclosed, though the essential disagreement over territorial integrity persists. A virtual meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing”-a group of approximately 30 nations including the United States, dedicated to supporting Ukraine-is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, November 25th. The meeting, coordinated from the Élysée Palace in Paris, will serve as a forum to assess the outcome of the Geneva talks and strategize a unified response. (Sources: IWP, dpa)
