- 🇺🇸/🇺🇦/🇷🇺 New: US negotiators have reportedly offered to redraw the administrative borders of Ukraine's Donetsk and Luhansk regions as part of peace talks, according to The Economist, citing people involved in the negotiations.
According to the reported concept, Russia would be able to claim full control of both regions without Ukraine having to give up cities that remain under Kiev's control. The legal mechanism and the exact territorial boundaries in question were not disclosed.
According to reports, the proposal is one of several ideas being explored and has not been announced as an agreed arrangement between Russia and Ukraine.
