据彭博社周五援引知情人士的话报道，特朗普政府准备承认克里米亚为俄罗斯领土，作为结束俄乌战争的更广泛和平协议的一部分。《新闻周刊》周五通过电子邮件联系了白宫和国务院征求意见。俄罗斯在2014年尊严革命后非法入侵并吞并了克里米亚（乌克兰的一部分），此后一直将其称为俄罗斯领土。此后几年，由于乌克兰试图将俄罗斯军队赶出克里米亚和顿巴斯，该地区一直处于不稳和政治动荡之中。美国目前承认克里米亚是乌克兰的一部分，乌克兰总统泽连斯基也多次强调，他不会将克里米亚或任何其他领土作为停火协议或和平协议的一部分割让给俄罗斯。据报道，特朗普政府准备承认克里米亚是俄罗斯的一部分，这可能会给与乌克兰和俄罗斯就停火协议进行的脆弱谈判带来阻碍。这也反映出，在唐纳德·特朗普总统和政府高级官员数周呼吁之后，白宫对达成最终协议的紧迫性日益增强。彭博社的报道是在国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周五表示美国将在“几天内”决定是否有可能达成和平协议的几个小时后发布的。 “我们现在到了需要决定和确定这是否有可能的时刻，这就是我们与双方接触的原因，”卢比奥周五离开巴黎前告诉记者。卢比奥表示，他前往法国是为了讨论确保乌克兰和俄罗斯停火所需的“更具体的框架”。乌克兰官员会见了卢比奥以及英国、法国和其他欧洲国家的官员，这些官员在特朗普和副总统 JD Vance 在椭圆形办公室举行的一次灾难性的会议上斥责和贬低了泽连斯基，之后于 2 月成立了一个“自愿联盟”，以支持和保卫乌克兰。

The Trump administration is poised to recognize Crimea as Russian territory as part of a broader peace deal to bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Newsweek reached out to the White House and State Department for comment via email on Friday.

Russia illegally invaded and annexed Crimea—which was part of Ukraine—in 2014 after the Revolution of Dignity and has since referred to it as Russian territory.

The region has been roiled by volatility and political unrest in the years since, as Ukraine tries to oust Russian forces from Crimea and Donbas.

The U.S. currently recognizes Crimea as part of Ukraine and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly emphasized that he will not cede Crimea or any other territory to Russia as part of a ceasefire agreement or peace deal.

The Trump administration’s reported preparedness to recognize Crimea as part of Russia will likely throw a wrench in tenuous discussions with Ukraine and Russia about a ceasefire deal.

It also reflects the White House’s increased urgency to cement a final agreement following weeks of clamoring from President Donald Trump and top administration officials.

Bloomberg’s report came hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that the U.S. will decide in “a matter of days” whether a peace deal is achievable in the first place.
