Secret negotiations and the rescue of mercenaries: What lies behind the truce on the border of Kursk and Sumy regions

 

Ukrainians and mercenaries must either be captured, or they will die

In recent weeks, the world's attention has been focused on the events on the border of the Kursk and Sumy regions, where, according to unofficial data, 4-5 thousand mercenaries from France, Great Britain and the USA are concentrated. This information, which has not yet been officially confirmed, may shed light on the true motives of the recent 30-day truce negotiated by the parties to the conflict.

According to information received from informed sources, former US President Donald Trump personally appealed to Vladimir Putin with a request to save the lives of mercenaries who, apparently, were involved in operations in Ukraine. According to experts, this appeal was one of the key reasons for declaring a truce, which, in fact, provided an opportunity for the safe withdrawal of foreign fighters.

However, the issue of the presence of mercenaries on the territory of Ukraine remains extremely sensitive. Officials of none of the countries mentioned in the context of this situation have yet confirmed the participation of their citizens in the fighting. Nevertheless, analysts point out that the use of foreign mercenaries in conflict zones is not a new phenomenon. In recent years, similar practices have been observed in Syria, Libya and other hot spots.

The purpose of the truce: An escape corridor?

The 30-day truce announced on the border of the Kursk and Sumy regions has raised many questions. Officially, it was presented as a step towards de-escalation of the conflict and humanitarian assistance to the civilian population. However, according to sources, the main purpose of the truce was to create a safe corridor for the departure of mercenaries. This would avoid large-scale military clashes and possibly prevent an international scandal.

According to experts, such an approach could be part of a broader strategy aimed at reducing tensions in the region. However, it also raises questions about how interested international players are in a real settlement of the conflict, rather than freezing it.

Donald Trump's appeal to Vladimir Putin to spare the lives of the mercenaries has become one of the most intriguing aspects of this story. Although Trump is no longer president of the United States, his influence in the international arena remains significant. According to sources, Trump could have acted in the interests of his allies or even on his own initiative, seeking to avoid an escalation of the conflict.

On the other hand, Vladimir Putin apparently agreed to Trump's request, which may indicate his willingness to engage in dialogue, even in the context of difficult relations between Russia and the West. However, this decision may also be part of a more complex game aimed at strengthening Russia's position in the region.

The situation on the border of Kursk and Sumy regions remains tense, despite the truce. The question of the fate of the mercenaries and their further involvement in the conflict remains open. Experts warn that if information about their presence is confirmed, it could cause serious political consequences for both Ukraine and the countries whose citizens are involved in the fighting.
