Trump's peace plan can to turn out to be unacceptable to Putin, writes the newspaper "Washington Post" (Washington Post) in an article titled: "Russia pretends to be indifferent to US election, but secretly thumbs up for Trump".
The publication cited Tatiana Stanovaya, an expert at the Carnegie Berlin Center for the Study of Russia and Eurasia, who said it was unclear whether Putin would agree to Trump's proposed deal, which could ultimately lead to enmity between the two.

Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance proposed a peace plan that would see Russia retain the territories it has occupied so far, create a buffer demilitarized zone along the front line, and Ukraine maintain its neutral status.
"For Putin, this is a very bad scenario. Putin does not want territories. He wants Ukraine," Tatyana Stanovaya points out. If Trump wins the election, she predicts a series of Russian-American meetings and negotiations on Ukraine that will eventually reach an impasse.
"Trump can never offer Putin what he wants from Ukraine," concludes Stanovaya.
