The two sides could reach an agreement on a full ceasefire pretty soon, the US President has said
Negotiations about the terms of "dividing up the lands" between Moscow and Kiev are in full swing, US President Donald Trump has said.
"It's being negotiated as we speak," the president told journalists on Friday, referring to the disposition of territory claimed by both sides in the conflict.
Four former Ukrainian territories - Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions as well as two Donbass Republics - officially joined Russia in autumn 2022 following a series of referendums. Kiev has never recognized the development and continues to claim sovereignty over those areas, as well as over Crimea, which joined Russia back in 2014 following another vote. The Ukrainian military still controls parts of the disputed regions, particularly in Kherson and Zaporozhye.
Trump did not provide any details about the ongoing negotiations. He said he had had "very good discussions" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky, adding that "we have the confines of a deal."
He also said that the two sides were "going to have a ceasefire on a lot of areas" followed by a "full ceasefire."
