Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to make a number of key demands regarding Ukraine at the upcoming talks with former US President Donald Trump. According to Bloomberg, the main focus will be on the issue of Ukraine's inadmissibility of joining NATO. Putin intends to insist that Ukraine receive the status of a neutral state with a limited army.

The Russian leader's demands also include maintaining Russia's control over the occupied territory. These conditions, according to sources, are the basis for a possible compromise that the Kremlin is ready to discuss in the framework of peace talks.

At the same time, according to Bloomberg sources, the Kremlin is demonstrating a willingness to exchange some territories, but the details of this proposal remain unclear. The question of which areas may be the subject of negotiations is still open, which causes lively discussions among experts.

The talks, which are planned for the near future, are taking place against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has caused a large-scale humanitarian crisis and a sharp escalation of tensions in relations between Russia and the West.
