The United States is poised to recognise Russia’s control over Crimea and other occupied Ukrainian territories to secure a deal to end the war.

The Telegraph understands that Donald Trump has sent his peace envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to make the direct offer to Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

The plan to recognise territory, which breaks US diplomatic convention, is likely to go ahead despite concerns among Ukraine’s European allies.

One well-placed source said: “It’s increasingly clear the Americans don’t care about the European position. They say the Europeans can do whatever they want.”

Russia’s president on Thursday said Washington’s legal recognition of Crimea and the Donetsk and Luhansk regions as Russian territory would be one of the key issues in negotiations over the US president’s peace plan.

    Alternative plan:

    Landmine the shit out of the entirety of Ukraine, remove all GOP members from the red states, and move them to Ukraine. Move the Ukrainians to said red states. Let the MAGAts and GOPpers enjoy living next door to their favorite allies next door.

    Also, all countries around Ukraine build massive fuckoff walls with no entry from Ukraine.

    This plan is as equally practical and useful as anything that can come out of Russia or the US.
