Ukraine's allies are discussing the possibility of contacting Vladimir Putin ahead of the G20 meeting scheduled for November in Brazil, according to Bloomberg.
According to sources cited by the agency, allies are discussing the possibility of contacting Putin directly before the G20 meeting in Brazil, as there are no signs that the Kremlin plans to retreat in the war against Ukraine.
A Bloomberg contact stated that Western allies of Ukraine are attempting to lower expectations regarding the victory plan presented by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the US They believe it will not yield a breakthrough in the war with Russia.
Specifically, according to a source familiar with Zelenskyy's discussions with foreign leaders, the President's victory plan did not include any real surprises and did not radically change the situation. Another official described the plan as a "wish list."
One ally believes it is time for a new round of negotiations with Putin. According to two officials, contact with the Russian President could be established by Zelenskyy or one of the partners.
Additionally, as Bloomberg notes, American officials are trying to temper expectations regarding the approval of Kyiv's request to use American long-range missiles to strike targets within Russian territory.
