Putin Refuses Negotiations Until Complete Capture of Donbas

Russia no longer intends to return part of the occupied territories to Ukraine within any agreement to end the war and intends to keep the occupied areas of Sumy and Kharkiv regions as a buffer zone, writes Bloomberg, citing sources close to the Kremlin.

According to them, Vladimir Putin still intends to seize the entire Donbas and believes that negotiations can only resume after this goal is achieved.

The Russian Ministry of Defense assured the president that it would gain full control over the rest of the Donetsk region by the end of the year, one of the agency's interlocutors clarified. However, a source close to the Russian military department called this deadline too optimistic and stated that many military personnel consider the operation's completion only in 2027 to be more realistic.

According to sources, Putin abandoned the earlier idea of territorial exchange after deciding that informal agreements reached with US President Donald Trump at the Alaska summit in August 2025 are no longer valid.

The Russian side claimed that Ukraine should have given up Donbas in exchange for the return of the occupied areas of Sumy and Kharkiv regions. Washington denied the existence of such agreements.

An additional factor was Trump's decision to support a bill introducing duties of up to 100% on the five largest buyers of Russian oil and gas.

Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, which led to a fuel crisis, also influenced the strengthening of the Kremlin's position, sources added.

    Самая бессмысленная мясорубка в истории: СВО начинали под предлогом борьбы с влиянием Запада. В итоге вс рф потеряли: Сирию, Армению, Мали. асад — удрал, мадуро — украли. Сербия — конец «оружейного братства». Африканский корпус — разгромлен, ОДКБ — ничто/фикция сплошная, Нагорный Карабах — отдали.
    Санкции — энергетика, ВПК, авиация, политзаключённые, эмиграция, инфляция, стагфляция, подъём НДС, упадок бизнеса, экспорт электроэнергии в Китай остановлен, потеря доли рынка нефти и газа в ЕС упала до 0%. Центральная Азия под зонтиком Пекина, северные потоки уничтожены, «Сила Сибири — 2» заморожен, утечка мозгов, кадровый голод, демографический кризис, экспорт оружия сокращён, а ведь были вторыми экспортёрами в мире.
    Балтийское море стало озером НАТО, Черноморский флот уничтожен, флагман потоплен, потеря танкеров и газовозов, Срединный коридор — главный шелковый путь Китай—Европа — строится в обход россии. Пошёл 6 год позора...
    На россии износ систем ЖКХ более 50%, нефтяные доходы в январе рухнули вдвое, параллельный импорт — в четыре раза, ВВП падает, запреты, блокировки, преследования, травля, отключение интернета.
    Если страна что-то и приобрела, то есть один страшный и неудобный вопрос — цена!!! Свыше миллиона жертв. Потеря международного имиджа, финансовая изоляция, расширение и укрепление НАТО, социальное напряжение, в стране банковский кризис, личное горе миллионов семей, «освобождённые города» — это бетонная пыль.
