The United States and Russia are seeking a deal to halt the war in Ukraine that would formalise Moscow's control over territories captured during its invasion, according to a Bloomberg report on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

US and Russian officials are negotiating territorial terms in preparation for a potential summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which could take place as early as next week, added the report.

"Putin continues to claim sovereignty over four Ukrainian regions " Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson " as well as Crimea, which was annexed in 2014. However, Russian forces do not have full control over all of these territories."

"The proposed measures could be postponed or scrapped altogether depending on the outcome of the expected Trump-Putin summit, which may take place in the United Arab Emirates in the coming days."

The worst part may be Trump pretending concern about the casualties.

He looks so awkward doing it... like it's the really a foreign thought to him. Which I'm sure it is, as there's only ever been one person that Donnie has ever been concerned about.

If he didn't have a hard on for Obama and his Nobel Peace Prize he wouldn't pretend to care at all.

So Taco will come out of the "private" sexsion with Daddy Vlad on Friday and announce he has the peace deal finalized without including Zelensky at all. It will cede all the territory Russia has stolen plus forcing reparations on Ukraine for daring to fight back.

And before Ukraine can officially reject it, Vlad will blow up more women and children in Ukraine.

Vlad will blow up more women and children in Ukraine.

Perhaps by ordering a B2 strike?
