According to the publication, Russia will pay an undisclosed rent for actual control over the region.
The authors of the article believe that Trump's plan to "lease the land" is consistent with the pattern of business deals. The publication calls it "money in exchange for land."
The plan provides for Kyiv to retain legal control over the occupied Donbas.
"Under its constitution, Ukraine is obliged to put the transfer of territory to a public vote, which is likely to fail - something that can be avoided under a lease," writes The Telegraph.
