Reported US peace framework would freeze front lines and recognise Russian control of Crimea
Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
A draft White House peace proposal reported by Axios and described by the Guardian on 23 April would give de jure US recognition of Russian control of Crimea, de facto recognition of Russia's occupation of much of eastern Ukraine, a commitment that Ukraine would not join Nato, and sanctions relief. Three people with knowledge of the talks told the Guardian that Putin had signalled readiness to freeze the front lines in exchange for such concessions. Zelensky had repeatedly said Ukraine would not legally recognise Crimea as Russian.
