Putin is ready to discuss ceasefire deal with Trump, but kept this condition

Russia Ukraine War: There has been a new turn towards the end of the Russia-Ukraine war, when Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed his desire to discuss a ceasefire agreement with the newly elected US President Donald Trump. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed this and said that Russia can agree to stop the conflict with Ukraine, but with some conditions.

Russia's conditions: territorial control and NATO membership

Putin has made it clear that Russia is not ready to make concessions on any major territory, and the possibility of Ukraine becoming a NATO member in the future has been completely ruled out. There is a possibility of talks about Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson, which are occupied by Russia, but Russia considers these areas as part of its sovereignty.

The crisis of agreeing on a ceasefire

Although Putin can agree on a ceasefire agreement, he is concerned that a temporary ceasefire could give Western countries a chance to arm Ukraine again. He also said that it is important to keep the ground reality in mind in any agreement.

Trump's role

According to reports, many questions are being raised on Putin's consent to Donald Trump's proposed peace agreement. Trump's former communications director Steven Cheung believes that only Trump can bring the two sides together for peace talks and help end the war.

Sensitive issues and concessions

Many questions are being raised in the process of the ceasefire agreement about some sensitive issues such as territorial control, Ukraine's NATO membership, and the revival of any conflict in the future. If Trump runs this process smoothly, then perhaps the war may end, but it will all depend on Putin's conditions and the response of Western countries.

Meanwhile, Russia says that the source of the threat from Ukraine comes from the Baltic Sea region, and the allegations leveled against Russia on this issue have been described as absurd and ridiculous. In such a situation, if any concrete step is taken towards a ceasefire, it could be a turning point.
