The continuous ones – although insufficient and doubtful – beginnings of agreement between Ukraine and Russia, have been stagnant as usual for months. LI attempts from each other to sit at the table representatives of both countries remain a very complicated chimera to transferalthough with the passing of the weeks possible windows are opened for dialogue.
As recently presented by the British media The Times, In case of agreement, Ukraine would face four possible scenarios in regards to its borders. One of them would result in a freezing of the front, so that everything would be as it is currently. SoRussian troops would control the regions they occupy right now, So millions of Ukrainian citizens would be under the control of Moscow.
Another possible option is that kyiv completely yields the region of the Donbás, something that would satisfy some of the Russian claimswhich currently occupy much of this area, although it would be a complete assignment.
On the other hand, the penultimate possible scenario, which would be settled with a rather important victory by Russia, would focus on increasing Ukrainian concessions. So, Zelenski would surrender to Putin and grant him control of Donetsk, Luhansk, in addition to Jersón and Zaporiyia, south and east of the country. This option is the most ambitious for Russian aspirations.
Finally, the last option would have to do with an exchange. In this way, Moscow stays with the entire Donbás and Ukraine would keep the domain of Jersón. It could be described as a somewhat Solomonic decision given the current circumstances although it seems unlikely if you consider the Putin position today.
