Episode notes
Putin’s Territorial Offer And European Response
- Vladimir Putin reportedly offered to gain all of Donetsk and Luhansk, including areas Ukraine still controls, in exchange for frozen front lines elsewhere.
- European leaders insist current front lines are the negotiation baseline and reject forced territorial changes.
Land Concessions Would Be Major And Legal
- Russia's softened demand still asks Ukraine to cede major cities and transport hubs like Kramatorsk and Slovyansk.
- Ceding such land would require Ukraine to change its laws and constitution, making acceptance unlikely.
Coordinate Western Security Guarantees
- Europe urges unity with the US before and after talks and warns against bypassing ceasefires for quick deals.
- Seek coordinated security guarantees involving Western allies to deter renewed Russian aggression.
