Vladimir Putin insists that when signing any peace agreement, Russia should receive full control of four occupied regions of Ukraine, some of the territories of which remain controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is reported by Bloomberg with reference to three unnamed sources in Moscow.
According to the publication, Putin announced this demand at a meeting with the specialized US President Donald Trump Steve Whitkoff, when he tried to convince him to stop the fighting on the current front line. According to one of the sources of the publication, at the moment, negotiations “came to a dead end”, and to achieve further progress, direct contact between Putin and Trump is necessary.

“We do not comment on current discussions. We continue to achieve progress with both Ukraine and Russia in order to lead this conflict to peaceful resolution, ”said James Hughitt, representative of the US National Security Council.
Bloomberg writes that Putin’s demand “strikes” by the efforts of Trump upon reaching an agreement on the ceasefire and the final end of the war against the background of growing disappointment in the White House due to lack of progress in negotiations.

At the same time, the Financial Times wrote earlier that in early April, Putin himself offered to freeze the military operations along the front line and told Witkoff that Russia was ready to abandon the territories controlled by Kiev in the Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions of Ukraine. Soon after the release of the article, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov called her a fake and called for “listening only to the source.”
After that, Putin once again met with Whitkoff April 25. At this meeting, they discussed the possibility of direct negotiations with Ukraine. Putin also stated about readiness for such negotiations earlier - then it was a question of the introduction of a moratorium on the blows of civil infrastructure.
