World News Putin demands Ukraine surrender Donbas, give up NATO ambitions and keep Western troops out of country: report By David Propper Published Aug. 22, 2025 Updated Aug. 22, 2025, 6:16 p.m. ET
1.2K Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded three conditions to achieving peace with Ukraine — he wants it to give up all of the eastern Donbas region, give up its NATO ambitions and remain neutral and keep Western forces out of the war-torn country, according to a report.
The Russian strongman outlined what it would take to end the more than three-year war during his high-stakes summit meeting in Alaska with President Trump last week, three sources familiar with top-level Kremlin thinking told Reuters.
Russian sources insisted to Reuters that Putin has cut down on his territorial demands from June 2024 that included four provinces that Moscow believes is part of their country: Donetsk and Luhansk, which encompasses the Donbas in eastern Ukraine, and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south.
Now, Russia wants Ukraine to cede the parts of the Donbas it still controls and in return would stop fighting in the other two areas, the Russian sources said.
Currently, Russia controls about 88% of the Donbas and 73% of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, US estimates and open-source data indicate.
Moscow is also willing to give Ukraine a small part of the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Dnipropetrovsk regions controlled by Russia as part of a possible agreement, according to the sources.

PUTIN WILL NEVER WORK THIS OUT
I demand that everyone supply me with cherry milkshakes.
must be the ukraine bros internet troll bot messed up and didn’t clean up the spam it was going to post..
seems there has to be something in there for Russia to renounce all further and future excursions into Ukraine.
Putin demands Ukraine surrender Donbas, give up NATO ambitions and keep Western troops out of country: report
Deal!
If....
1. He renounces all claims to the Baltic States, and acknowledges their right to be in NATO. And for that matter all states that are now currently NATO members, including Finland.
2. If he wants Ukraine to be neutral, then the same must apply to Belarus as well. I doubt he would agree to this, though.
I thought Russia already had control of Donbas.
And the other two conditions are no brainers.
But the midget will not concede.
Copy and paste.....didn't double check. They're titles of other articles at New York Post.
Give him what he wants, and then start killing his troops that guard the lost lands as they sleep!
Look at the lands they have been destroyed and it will
take years to get them productive again!
Putin has a population problem!
As does Ukraine.
Hard to maintain your country when all your
young men are dead.
Trump once said that the ukraine rare earth minerals deal is the ukraine security guarantee because Russia would never bomb a US assets on the ground in Ukraine.
Didn’t Russia do just that last night or the night before?
Sounds pretty accurate. Putin holds all the cards.
Bring on the sanctions/Tariffs
These have always been the conditions.
All the chattering about ceasefires, meetings, article 5 “like” guarantees was always a wishful thinking echo chamber where the gaggle of chattering started to believe their own chatter.
Gosh! I just woke up from my nap, and it’s June 2024, again!
Putin doesn’t hold all the cards. If he did, he wouldn’t be negotiating at all. He’s just being a stubborn Soviet leader now. He’ll eventually face reality, just as the Russians and our own nation have done in Afghanistan.
“But the midget will not concede.”
The Ukrainian dwarf needs to agree to this or lose it all.
He’ll never get back what he lost, there is no point in letting this war continue.
What good did it do to bomb the pipeline?
There will be no WWIII.
The Europeons are impotent and cannot assist him.
The dwarf has no choice.
The US is out of this quagmire.
How about a big, noisy "Ursula! DO SOMETHING!" and then not turning to our President and say "it's your responsibility, because we won't do anything until YOU DO."
Trump: “Well…bye.”
Wrong.
