A two-stage plan is being discussed, which would involve restricting hostilities within a 50\u201370-kilometre-wide zone, followed by a transition to protracted diplomatic negotiations. Russia is in no hurry to make concessions, counting on a difficult winter for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Ukraine and the US are holding behind-the-scenes talks on a ceasefire along the current front line.<\/li>\n<li>A two-stage plan is being discussed to restrict activity in a zone 50\u201370 km wide on both sides of the front line.<\/li>\n<li>Moscow is not prepared to make any compromises until October due to the domestic political situation in the US.<\/li>\n<li>Russia plans to use the winter months to deplete Ukraine\u2019s resources.<\/li>\n<li>The aim of the negotiations is to establish a stable ceasefire and move towards long-term agreements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A phased plan for the cessation of hostilities along the front line<\/h2>\n<p>Negotiations between Ukraine and the US are centred on a two-stage plan to de-escalate the conflict. The first stage involves <strong>the imposition of restrictions on active combat operations within a 50\u201370-kilometre zone on either side of the existing front line<\/strong>. This should reduce the frequency of artillery, missile and drone strikes, which are particularly intense along the line of contact. The second stage is \u2014 <strong>the establishment of positions and the start of protracted diplomatic negotiations<\/strong> to reach a comprehensive political and security agreement.<\/p>\n<p>This approach aims to create a stable <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/viyna\/rosiia-zirvala-rezhym-tyshi-masovana-ataka-drony-kaby-ukraina\/\">silent mode<\/a>, which will help to save the lives of civilians and military personnel, as well as create scope for a political settlement. At the same time, it does not provide for an immediate cessation of hostilities, but instead proposes a phased reduction in the intensity of the conflict.<\/p>\n<h2>The impact of the US mid-term elections on the negotiation process<\/h2>\n<p>One of the key factors influencing the course of the negotiations is <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/reiting-trampa-minimum-2009\/\">the domestic political situation in the US<\/a>. The Kremlin is considering demonstrating its willingness to de-escalate the situation in the run-up to the mid-term congressional elections this autumn. This could be used to the advantage of a political force <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In Moscow, it is anticipated that such a diplomatic \u00abfavour\u00bb from the US will lead to demands for the Kremlin to make significant concessions in return. Therefore, genuine compromises on Russia\u2019s part are unlikely before October, and the negotiation process may be used for political bargaining and to secure additional benefits.<\/p>\n<h2>The winter factor in Russia\u2019s strategy<\/h2>\n<p>As well as the US election calendar, Russia is putting the brakes on negotiations until spring, banking on a difficult <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/putin-zimovij-nastup-ukraina\/\">the winter season in Ukraine<\/a>. Winter is traditionally a challenge for critical infrastructure, as well as for the civilian population, which is at risk due to resource constraints.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy is based on the assumption that the depletion of resources and socio-economic difficulties could weaken Ukraine\u2019s position in future rounds of negotiations. The Kremlin plans to exploit this factor to secure more favourable terms in long-term agreements.<\/p>\n<h2>Prospects for a diplomatic settlement<\/h2>\n<p>The initiative by Ukraine and the US to freeze the conflict is an important step towards stabilising the situation. At the same time, it requires all parties to be prepared to make compromises and take concrete action to ease tensions.<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, Russia is expressing scepticism and preparing for a protracted standoff, reflecting the complexity of the international and domestic political situation surrounding the conflict. However, establishing a ceasefire, even in a limited area, could form the basis for further negotiations and help reduce the loss of life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0430 \u0456 \u0421\u043f\u043e\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0435\u043d\u0456 \u0428\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0438
