On April 24, Jin10 reported that, according to foreign media, informed sources stated that the United States would require Russia to accept Ukraine’s right to have its own army and defense industry as part of the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. According to the informed sources, U.S. envoy Vitkov is expected to raise this issue with Russian President Putin at the next meeting. Agreeing to allow Ukraine to have a well-equipped and adequately staffed army, as requested by Ukraine and its European allies, means that Putin would have to abandon the goal of demilitarizing Ukraine—one of the main military objectives claimed by Putin. This indicates that the Trump administration seeks to push the Kremlin and Ukraine to make concessions to end the military actions that have entered their fourth year.
