Fear of “Land-for-Peace”: Putin Demands Donbas in Return for Minimal Concessions

Published: August 17, 2025

In a controversial development following the Alaska summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly demands full control over the eastern Donbas region—particularly Donetsk and Luhansk—in exchange for minor territorial returns elsewhere. U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to consider the deal, emphasizing the urgency to “make peace.” Ukraine’s leadership, backed by European allies, has firmly rejected the proposal as unconstitutional and a threat to national sovereignty.([cite](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-tells-zelenskiy-that-putin-wants-more-ukraine-urges-kyiv-make-deal-2025-08-16/))

Analysts warn that such a “land-for-peace” formula risks legitimizing aggression and permanently redrawing Ukraine’s borders. European leaders, while supporting a ceasefire, have insisted that any talks must respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and include Kyiv at the negotiating table.([cite](https://www.apnews.com/article/...); [cite](https://news.sky.com/story/...))
