Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to end the nearly four-year Ukraine conflict if Kyiv withdraws from territories claimed by Moscow, threatening military force otherwise. As Russian troops advance steadily through eastern Ukraine, the United States has proposed a revised peace plan aimed at brokering negotiations between the warring parties. However, significant obstacles remain, with Ukraine firmly rejecting territorial concessions while Putin questions President Zelensky's legitimacy to sign any agreement.
