The United States is reportedly considering a proposal to recognize Russian control over Crimea and other occupied Ukrainian territories—marking a sharp departure from previous policy and sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe. Spearheaded by President Trump and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, the plan would freeze current frontlines and ease sanctions on Moscow, a move critics say legitimizes Russian aggression. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected the idea, calling it a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, while European allies have distanced themselves from the proposal, warning against appeasement. At the 2025 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Envoy Joseph Keith Kellogg Jr. further fueled tensions by suggesting Europe shares blame for Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea. As doubts grow over Western unity and commitment, Ukraine faces the prospect of defending its territory alone.
