The United States has promised Russia that Ukraine will give up territory as part of a peace settlement, Moscow’s foreign minister has said.
Sergei Lavrov said the Trump administration understood that “territories where Russians have lived for centuries should once again become part of Russia”.
Mr Lavrov was referring to Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Crimea – five Ukrainian territories that were illegally annexed by Vladimir Putin in 2022.
His comments came after US officials held talks with Ukrainian and European leaders in Berlin about a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
The US told Kyiv and its European allies to accept its “platinum” offer of security guarantees in exchange for ceding some territory to Russia.
Putin has demanded that Ukraine withdraw from the remainder of the Donbas region, made up of Donetsk and Luhansk, which is not currently under Russian military control.
Moscow has also insisted that Ukraine be barred from joining Nato, a request Mr Lavrov said the US also understood.

Well its almost Christmas, and Christmas is for giving. So now that we’re all giving away things that are not ours to give, I would like to give away Kalinigrad and the Brooklyn Bridge. Anybody here interested?

Well, Ukraine doesn’t belong to the US, so they are no position to give away what doesn’t belong to them. Also, Lavrov can go eat a bag of shit.

Don’t know why the answer isn’t “then Trump can give them mainland US land if that’s the deal.”

They want the US to negotiate to continue to stall diplomatic solutions at the same time, they try to discredit Ukraine internationaly by questioning Zelensky’s leadership.
It’s obvious that Russia is desperate and isn’t willing to play the long game. And by using every asset on the table, including the US which they backed and funded Trump’s campaign in the hopes of taking away Ukraine’s aid.
