Administration of the US President Donald Trump is ready to recognize Russian control of Crimea as part of a proposal to end the war in Ukraine, CNN reported, citing well-informed officials.
An unnamed official told CNN the plan was presented to European and Ukrainian officials who met in Paris on Thursday. The peace framework was also mentioned in a telephone conversation between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Parts of that plan need to be finalized and the US plans to work with Europe and Ukraine on this next week in London, the unnamed source said.
