The United States has conveyed to Kyiv its expectation of concessions, including foregoing NATO membership. To facilitate a resolution to the Ukrainian conflict, Washington may acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory and proposes assuming operational control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, reports that Washington anticipates a response from Kyiv, expected at a forthcoming meeting of U.S., Ukrainian, and European officials in London later this week. Subsequently, should alignment be achieved among the U.S., EU, and Ukraine, proposals may be presented to Russia, potentially involving another visit from Mr. Trump's special envoy, Mr. Whitcoff.
