US Considers Recognizing Russian Control in Ukraine

The U.S. is reportedly considering a significant foreign policy shift, potentially recognizing Russias control over Crimea and other Ukrainian territories as part of a peace deal. This move, if confirmed, would mark a departure from Washingtons stance since 2014. President Trumps peace envoy and adviser met with Putin to present this offer, following emergency talks in Geneva. The latest proposal includes a de facto U.S. recognition of Crimea and the Donbas regions, which Putin has stated is a key condition for any agreement. However, Kyiv rejects territorial concessions, and European allies express alarm over the reported offer. A European counter-proposal makes no mention of recognizing Russian control and insists on resolving territorial issues after a full ceasefire. The status of Russia-held regions in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia remains unresolved, with direct talks between Trump and Zelenskyy expected to address these issues. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
