Bloomberg. Kremlinul nu mai ia în calcul retragerea din zonele ocupate din Sumî și Harkov în cadrul unui acord de pace

Russia has decided not to return occupied territories in Sumy and Kharkiv, aiming to keep them as permanent buffer zones. President Putin seeks full control over Donetsk while maintaining the occupied regions. This marks a shift from previous discussions about potential territorial concessions. The Kremlin's strategy change is influenced by intensified Ukrainian attacks and U.S. pressure. Ukraine continues to reject territorial cessions, insisting on sovereignty in any peace agreement.
