US offer to Russia to end Ukraine war: A surprising report by Polish news outlet Onet has revealed that it has learned about the details of a "favourable" American proposal regarding Ukraine that was presented to Russian president Vladimir Putin during talks with Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump’s Special Envoy, in Moscow, according to a Pravda report.

However, Onet does not reveal the name of its sources, but said that the proposal was coordinated with European states, reported Pravda. Onet wrote, "We have learned that Moscow received a very favourable offer from the Trump administration," as quoted by Pravda.


Donald Trump’s Reported Offer to Vladimir Putin

Onet outlined what all the US proposal allegedly includes:


  • A ceasefire in Ukraine, though not a full peace agreement, as per the Pravda report.
  • De facto recognition of the territories occupied by Russia through deferral of the issue for either 49 years or 99 years, according to Pravda.
  • The lifting of most of the sanctions imposed on Russia and, in the long term, a return to energy cooperation – namely imports of Russian gas and oil, as per the Pravda report.
