Putin Tells U.S. He’ll Halt War in Exchange for Eastern Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin presented the Trump administration this week with a sweeping proposal for a cease-fire in Ukraine, demanding major territorial concessions by Kyiv—and a push for global recognition of its claims—in exchange for a halt to the fighting, according to European and Ukrainian officials.
President Trump said Friday he would meet with Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15, following Putin’s proposal. He didn’t provide additional information about the meeting or the exact location. The Kremlin didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
European and Ukrainian officials, who were briefed by Trump and Witkoff in a series of calls this week, said they worry Putin is simply using the offer as a ploy to avoid punishing new U.S. sanctions and tariffs while continuing the war.
The proposal could signal a shift away from Russia’s previous demands for full Russian control of regions along the entire front line, which extends beyond the Donbas.
Putin told Witkoff he would agree to a complete cease-fire if Ukraine agreed to withdraw forces from all of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, according to officials briefed on the call. Russia would then control the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as the Crimea peninsula, which it seized in 2014 and wants recognized as sovereign Russian territory.
In a third call on Friday, Witkoff told European officials that the Russian proposal included two phases, according to two European officials. In the first phase, Ukraine would withdraw from Donetsk and the battle lines would be frozen. That would be followed by a second phase, in which Putin and Trump would agree on a final peace plan that would later be negotiated with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the officials said.
Zelensky has previously said he would only discuss territorial issues after Russia agreed to a full and unconditional cease-fire, a point Ukrainian officials have repeatedly emphasized.
Putin’s gambit appeared to be designed in part to ratchet up domestic pressure on Zelensky, as many Ukrainians want the war to end but are also opposed to surrendering big chunks of territory. The proposal could now shift pressure onto Kyiv to negotiate a deal and help Moscow sidestep new U.S. sanctions.
Some European leaders have expressed cautious optimism that Trump’s diplomatic efforts could yield results. “Perhaps a freezing of the conflict—I don’t want to say the end of the war, but a freezing of the conflict—could happen sooner rather than later,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Friday.
