The media reported that the United States proposed to change the borders of Ukraine.
American negotiators proposed changing Ukraine's administrative borders so that Russia could declare full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. At the same time, Kyiv will retain control over the cities it currently controls - Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, the Economist reports.
This is one of the ideas with which the American side is trying to convince Moscow for a peace agreement, the article says. Other proposals include Russia's return to the European energy market. On November 10-11, tripartite negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States will take place in Abu Dhabi.
The Russian delegation will be headed by the assistant to the Russian president Vladimir Medinsky, and the Ukrainian delegation will be headed by the National Security and Defense Council Rostam Umerov. The special envoys for the US presidency Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will lead the American delegation.
