Earlier, Bloomberg<\/em> reported that the U.S. is prepared to consider recognizing Crimea as part of Russia as part of a peace agreement. According to The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, this proposal was previously conveyed by the American side to European allies and Ukraine during talks in Paris on April 17.<\/p>

Ahead of the London meeting, The Washington Post<\/em> sources indicate that the U.S. proposal includes formal recognition of Crimea as Russian territory by Washington and, eventually, the lifting of sanctions against Russia. In return, Moscow would be expected to cease hostilities in Ukraine.<\/p>
