The summit in Alaska revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin aims to freeze the war in Ukraine along the current front line in exchange for the surrender of the Donetsk region. Russia controls about 70% of Donetsk, and Ukraine holds approximately 6,600 sq km. The territory is crucial for Ukraine's defense and industrial capacity, with significant urban centers and fortified defenses. Experts suggest that Ukraine is unlikely to give up western Donetsk without a fight, despite potential peace negotiations.
