FT: Europa îi va propune lui Putin cedarea întregului Donbas, în schimbul încetării războiului și al aderării Ucrainei la NATO

European leaders are seeking a compromise to end the war in Ukraine, potentially involving Ukraine ceding the Donbas region in exchange for NATO membership. Discussions with Putin may present two scenarios: freezing the conflict along the current front line or Ukraine ceding Donbas while joining NATO later. The U.S. has noted a strategic impasse, with Russia demanding full control of Donbas, which Ukraine rejects. European leaders feel a direct role in peace efforts is necessary, especially as U.S. support wanes, and they are increasingly unified in their approach to negotiations with Russia.
