#Russian Telegram channels, which allegedly have "sources in the #Kremlin", posted today that the #Kremlin is reportedly discussing the format and date to publish a new ultimatum for #Ukraine to start the negotiations process and discuss detailed points of the "peace track" with the West.

The new proposal to stop the conflict in #Ukraine will allegedly be voiced by #Putin personally after the #US presidential election, and two different drafts of the text are being prepared.

◾️ One text is in case #Donald_Trump wins.

He will be offered a relatively soft proposal, which will preserve some room for maneuver for #Donald_Trump (in particular, on the issue of the sanitary zone and demilitarization of #Ukraine - these can be quite flexible).

◾️ The second text is in case #Kamala_Harris wins.

She will allegedly be given a tough ultimatum (in addition to withdrawal of troops from the 4 "new regions",

demilitarization and denazification, #Ukraine will be required to create a large sanitary zone along the perimeter of the borders, for 150-200 km, where no military infrastructure will be allowed).

There are also rumours that #Kremlin wants to strengthen its negotiating position by playing the "#Korean card."

Reportedly, taking into account the fact that #Russia and #NATO do not want to engage in direct confrontation with each other, the

parties will look for hybrid response options in different regions of the world.

According to the "sources," the risk of activation of the "#Transnistrian card" is growing.

Thus, #Russia's war in #Ukraine is becoming the culmination of geopolitical confrontation at the current stage.

How can we comment on the fact that such publications appear in the #Russian informational space?
