The Armed Forces is removed from Donbass and NATO without Ukraine: Putin's conditions were announced to end the war

The deputy director of the Center for European and International Studies of the Higher School of Economics, the Kremlin Advisor Dmitry Suslov, said this in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera. In the case of mutual removal of the troops, the front line in the rest of the territories will remain. Obviously, it is about Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. The most important part of the agreement is Ukraine's obligations not to join NATO, the adviser added.

The final version of the agreement includes the demilitarization of Ukraine and constitutional reform. If President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, with the support of Europe, rejects this decision, Trump will stop Kiev military assistance and stop the sale of weapons to EU countries. "This scenario will accelerate the complete collapse of Ukraine," Suslov is convinced.

If the Alaska summit and the approval of a joint truce plan in Ukraine, the US president will be able to claim historical significance. "That is why we expect Trump to receive Putin's proposal," the Kremlin advisor added. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidential Office of Ukraine did not comment on these plans to end the war in Ukraine. The symbolism of choosing the location of Putin and Trump has become the subject of numerous discussions.

According to Suslov, it is an important choice at the historical and political levels. "Alaska emphasizes the bilateral nature of the summit. There is no more" Russian-American "place in the world. Alaska is far from Europe and Ukraine, but very close to Russia. It emphasizes that Putin and Trump are looking for ways to resolve the issue of war in Ukraine," the expert said. The Alaska Summit will be the first Russian-American meeting in the United States in the last 15 years.

The latter took place in June 2010, when Explore-resident Dmitry Medvedev arrived in the 44th President of the US Barack Obama in Washington. In addition to Ukraine, Trump and Putin will discuss the Arctic. There is a risk of acute conflict in the region, as Russia and States' military activity is increasing. We will remind, Zelensky has already said that in the talks of Trump with Putin on August 15, no decision will be made without Kiev.
