Turkey Reveals Russia’s Alleged New Territorial Compromise Proposal on Ukraine
Friday, 29 August 2025 () Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has outlined a new version of a possible Russian compromise on Ukraine’s territorial settlement. Speaking about negotiations, he said Moscow is now prepared to remain along the current line of contact, with one exception: the remaining territory of Donetsk not yet under Russian control. Russia’s Alleged Proposal According to Fidan, Russia is ready to accept a framework where Luhansk remains fully under its control, while about 25–30 percent of Donetsk still held by Ukraine would be transferred. At the same time, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson would remain along existing lines of contact. He described this approach as providing “a truly magnificent foundation for the articles of a future framework agreement,” especially if paired with security guarantees for Kyiv. Turkey’s Role and US Discussions The Turkish minister emphasized that Ankara is determined to play a decisive role in shaping security guarantees for Ukraine and will not allow the topic to proceed without its involvement. He also confirmed discussions with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the issue.
