The Telegraph: US to recognize Russia’s control over Crimea

WORLD, Nov. 28 (YPA) – The British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the United States is considering a new proposal that would recognize Russia’s control over Crimea and the regions it recently annexed, as part of efforts to reach an agreement that could end the ongoing war in Ukraine.

According to the newspaper, Donald Trump has sent his peace envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to make the direct offer to Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

The plan to recognize territory, which breaks US diplomatic convention, is likely to go ahead despite concerns among Ukraine’s European allies.

The Telegraph cited a well-placed source as saying, “It’s increasingly clear the Americans don’t care about the European position. They say the Europeans can do whatever they want.”
