The US and Russia have developed a three-stage plan to end the war in Ukraine.

According to Fox News, the plan involves a ceasefire, after which elections should be held in Ukraine, and only then will a peace agreement be signed. The US and Russia view conducting elections in Ukraine as a key requirement for successfully ending hostilities.

“Putin assesses the likelihood of electing a puppet president as quite high and believes that any candidate other than the current president of Ukraine will be more flexible and open to negotiations and concessions,” diplomatic sources report.

Donald Trump is believed to be prepared to accept any election result, including the potential election of a pro-Russian politician as Ukraine’s president. It is important to note that representatives from the US and Ukraine have yet to comment on the reported plan to end the war.

Furthermore, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that he “has not seen information” regarding the “three-stage peace plan” described by Fox News sources.
