Military expert Dmytro Sniehyrov, co-head of the civic initiative Prava Sprava, stated this on Espreso TV."We are not talking about pushing Russia back to the '91 borders; that is blatant nonsense. Let's forget about these talking points. Ukraine is satisfied with the very scenario of freezing the conflict along the line of combat. It would even accept a demarcation zone scenario, which would involve the remaining parts of the Donetsk region and the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration. Let's be realistic, the capture of Pokrovsk is a matter of time. And we are not just talking about the capture of Pokrovsk, but the entire Pokrovsk agglomeration. The Russian forces have had quite serious tactical successes in the direction of Siversk, with fighting already taking place on its outskirts. This effectively flanks the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration. The invaders are also advancing towards Lyman. According to various estimates, they are between 2.5 to 3 kilometers from Lyman. And consequently, fighting is already on the outskirts of Kostiantynivka," he said.Dmytro Sniehyrov suggests that after the potential fall of the Pokrovsk agglomeration, 150,000 troops of Russian "cannon fodder" will be redeployed to the Kostiantynivka direction."That is, after the possible fall of the Pokrovsk agglomeration, 150,000 of Russian cannon fodder will be transferred to the Kostiantynivka direction. That is why the United States is proceeding from the realities of the situation on the line of contact and proposing that scenario—namely, the creation of a demarcation zone in the Donetsk region, and in return, the return of the temporarily occupied territories of the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions. By the way, in terms of square kilometers, this is effectively the same amount of territory that the United States is proposing for the demarcation zone. And note, there is also an advance by the Russians in the Huliaipole area, which is the Zaporizhzhia direction, and at the junction of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. There, unfortunately, the occupiers also have tactical successes. This is why the Russians state that this peace treaty does not suit them, but they are completely satisfied with the situation on the line of contact. This, by the way, is further proof that there is no talk of any joint American-Russian plan," he added.On November 25, the press secretary for the Russian dictator, Dmitry Peskov, stated that the Kremlin considers Donald Trump's peace plan the only substantive document that could form the basis for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.On November 26, U.S. President Donald Trump, commenting on his intentions for resolving the war in Ukraine, stated that the main concession from Russia would be to halt military operations and renounce further territorial conquests.
