Tuesday reports of possible ceasefire in Ukraine have shaken the international political scene. Russia's President Vladimir Putin proposed to stop the war on the current frontline," said the "Financial Times", citing sources similar to the Kremlin. Although the proposal has not yet been formally confirmed, it has sparked a stormy debate on its implications for Europe's security and global geopolitics.
Background of the proposal
According to the British Journal Putin presented the terms of the truce during informal talks with intermediaries. Russia would retain control of occupied areas in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporosian and Khersonsk Oblasts, which represents approximately 18% of Ukraine's territory (UN data of 2024). In return, Moscow would commit to halt further escalation of the conflict.
International reactions
Kiev's answer is clear: "No agreement without full withdrawal of Russian troops is not an option," said President Zelenski's advisor, Alexi Danilov. NATO remains cautious, stressing the need to verify Russia's intentions. Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recalled that since 2022 the Kremlin has repeatedly broken earlier agreements.
Scale of conflict in numbers
- Human losses: According to UN estimates (2025) the war consumed over 350 000 deaths on both sides.
- Refugees: 12.4 million people have left Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion (UNHCR data)
