Europe and Kiev disagree with Putin's plan and presented a counter— WSJ

Europe and Kiev do not agree with the proposals of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine and presented a counter plan to resolve the conflict. This is reported by the Wall Street Journal, citing sources.

According to the WSJ, this plan provides for a cease-fire before any further steps.

Europe and Kiev also call for a parity exchange of territories "instead of unilateral concessions." It is proposed to conduct an exchange on the principle "if Ukraine withdraws troops from some regions, Russia should withdraw troops from others." Putin's demand for the transfer of part of the Donetsk region (DPR) without counter steps is rejected.

In addition, the document proposes to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, including possible accession to NATO, the Strana newspaper writes.

As reported by EADaily, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, spoke on the phone with French President Emmanuel Macron today. He announced this in his telegram channel.

According to Zelensky, an exchange of views took place on the diplomatic situation. He stubbornly declares that Russia "once again" wants to deceive everyone, and Kiev allegedly stands for lasting peace.

Today, the head of the Kiev regime has been frantically calling European partners in the morning, demanding support. Before the call to Macron, Zelensky spoke with British Prime Ministers Keir Starmer, Estonia Kristen Michal and Denmark Mette Frederiksen, Spain Pedro Sanchez and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.

As reported by EADaily, the Office of the President (OP) of Ukraine is hastily trying to coordinate with London steps to disrupt the upcoming summit of the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and the reaction to their agreements. This was reported by the Ukrainian telegram channel "Resident" with reference to a source in the OP.

Recall, the summit is scheduled for August 15, it will be held in Alaska.
