What would a negotiated settlement between the US and Russia over Ukraine involve?

According to the discussion, any negotiated settlement would include lifting some or all of the massive US sanctions that have been placed on Russia in recent years. These sanctions were implemented after Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which led to ongoing territorial conflict. The diplomatic talks follow communication between President Trump and President Putin, signaling a significant shift in US foreign policy approach toward Russia compared to previous administrations. This potential sanctions relief represents a key component of the peace negotiations being initiated between US and Russian officials.
