Russian President Vladimir Putin is sweetening the deal with President Trump over peace negotiations regarding ending the Ukraine War.
Trump has been vocally supportive of the Russian view on ending the war and Putin is likely returning the favor to make Ukrainian concessions easier for POTUS.
Russia has a 10 to 1 population advantage in this attrition war and regaining territory under now Russian control is simply not likely.
On the eve of a phone call with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin unveiled his latest overture to the United States. For the first time in three years of war, he signed an order on Monday allowing major US investment funds to sell their holdings of frozen Russian securities. The move comes as US media report the White House is looking at what carrots it can offer Moscow, with the potential recognition of Crimea as Russian territory on the table, reported independent Russian news outlet The Bell.
