The US offers Russia concessions in order to end the war against Ukraine.
Among them is the change of the administrative borders of the regions of Ukraine and the return of the Russian Federation to the energy market of the European Union. The Economist writes about this with reference to sources familiar with the negotiations.
The border revision may allow Moscow to claim control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions without handing over the Ukrainian-controlled cities. At the same time, there is currently no agreement on this issue.
