Nonilex#Russia or Russian-backed separatists have claimed parts of the region since 2014, but they have never been able to conquer the entirety of the region by force.
#Trump has not publicly commented on #Putin’s demand for all of #Donetsk, which has not previously been reported. Trump did not endorse the Russian request in his public statement Friday after a high-stakes meeting with #Zelensky.
#Putin has tried & failed to conquer the territory for 11 years, repeatedly repulsed by #Ukraine forces who are deeply entrenched in an area they believe is a major bulwark against a speedy Russian advance westward toward their capital.
Putin’s focus on #Donetsk suggests he is not backing away from past demands that have left the conflict in a stalemate, despite #Trump’s optimism about securing a deal, the officials said….

#Putin demanded #Ukraine surrender key #territory in call with #Trump
The demand from Putin would significantly disadvantage Ukraine & could be an obstacle to peace, officials said.
Putin in a phone call this week with #TACO demanded that Kyiv surrender full control of #Donetsk, a strategically vital region in eastern Ukraine, as a condition for ending the war, said two senior officials familiar with the conversation.

Helianthus 🔔🇺🇦"Too complicated" for #PINO #TACO Trump means he is afraid that the bags full of money he is dreaming of (Trump speech: "deals") are slipping out of his reach. So sad, so "complicated"!
