Details of the document prepared between the US and Russia regarding the cessation of the war in Ukraine have emerged and created a significant resonance in international media.
Modern.az reports that the Western press writes about this. According to the information, the document consists of demands that are completely contrary to Ukraine's interests.
"Financial Times" writes that one of the main points of the plan is the recognition of the Russian language as an official state language in Ukraine. The document also envisages granting official status to the Russian Orthodox Church. Sources consider these maximalist political advantages for the Kremlin
According to the document, the size of the Ukrainian army should be halved, some key weapon categories should be renounced, and US military aid should be stopped.
The Western press reports that a part of the document includes the possibility of recognizing Crimea and Donbas as Russian territory. In return, it is noted that Moscow might return parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions
US officials have privately advised Zelensky to consider these conditions. The initial details of the plan will be presented to the Ukrainian leader tomorrow during the visit of the US Army leadership to Kyiv. Subsequently, an American delegation is expected to travel to Moscow
Experts evaluate the document as Ukraine's de facto capitulation. It is noted that halving the army and renouncing Donbas will force Kyiv's security system to completely collapse
Kyiv, however, has already conveyed its initial position, stating that a large part of the articles in the document are unacceptable for Ukraine. The announcement of the US-Russia plan has created new political tension in the course of the war, and more acute reactions are expected in the coming days
