Ukrainian war, evidence of agreement between the US and Russia on Donbass and the rest of the country
The dialogue between the United States and Russia has resumed. Still not at the highest levels between Biden and Putin, but still at high government and military levels. As Repubblica explains, “no one expected a phone call between Austin and Shoigu to resolve the issue. But if he accepted the call, after a silence that had lasted since February 18, there is a reason”.
Authoritative US sources involved in the dossier cited by Repubblica note that “Austin has asked for a ceasefire, that is to say the stop of the fighting on the current front line, and not the withdrawal of Russian troops from the occupied territories. This could represent an interesting opening for Moscow, that is the hypothesis of convincing Kiev to give up some areas controlled by the Kremlin, in exchange for a lasting peace that gives guarantees projected towards the future on the security, sovereignty and integrity of the rest of the country. The transition could be sanctioned with a referendum in parts of the Donbass, which would give political coverage to everyone. In some ways it would be the exchange that the French President Macron is also working on, trying to involve the Chinese leader Xi, to convince Putin that it is the only way forward “.
