U.S. Demands from Russia Regarding Ukraine
The U.S. is now demanding that Russia accept Ukraine's right to maintain its own military and defense industries as part of the peace negotiations. This marks a significant shift in the U.S. stance, which previously seemed to favor demands from Russia, such as recognizing its sovereignty over Crimea. The U.S. is also insisting that Russia return the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has been under Russian control since the invasion. This attempt to rebuff Russian demands signifies a new approach to foster a balanced negotiation strategy that prioritizes Ukraine's sovereignty and security.
