Financial Times scrie despre cele două opțiuni europene pentru Vladimir Putin: Înghețarea liniei de front contra blocării NATO sau cedarea Donbasului pentru aderarea Ucrainei

Diplomatic relations regarding the Ukraine war are entering a critical phase as European leaders prepare to engage directly with Putin. With U.S. support waning, two proposals will be presented to Russia: freezing the conflict in exchange for Ukraine's NATO membership guarantee or ceding Donbas for immediate NATO integration. European leaders feel they can no longer rely solely on Washington for negotiations. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelensky has adopted a tougher stance against the U.S., criticizing its restrictions on satellite connections. Analysts remain skeptical about Putin's willingness to accept either proposal, while Europe insists on direct negotiations. The Kremlin favors a summit format that sidelines Europe and Ukraine.
