Russian President Vladimir Putin has put a series of conditions for aHigh fire in Ukraine. Conditions hard enough so that Ukraine cannot accept. Moreover, it seems that they are made to provoke that rejection.
Before signing a peace agreement, Putin has demanded that there be elections in Ukraine, a way of trying to get rid of Zelenski. But Putin goes further and asks Ukraine to retire and recognize as part of Russia Crimea, Lugansk, donesk, zapoiyia and syrson. These areas suppose almost 20% of all Ukraineso the country would have to give up an equivalent in square meters to The entire territory of Portugal.
In addition to all this, Russia wants to limit the number of Ukrainian troops and weapons. That is, he wants to leave them without an army and leave Ukraine without the capacity to defend himself by putting end to the supply of western weapons.
But the demands do not remain there: Russia also claims the end of the sanctions of Ukraine against its economythe commitment of not developing nuclear weapons and prohibition of third countries to act in Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine will take a week to analyze Russia’s memorandum
All these conditions are collected in the memorandum that the Russian delegation has delivered to the Ukrainian on Monday in its Meeting in Istanbul. Precisely, one of the main objectives of this meeting was to analyze the conditions of both parties for a high fire, but as Ukraine denounced the last weeks, Russia had not yet sent his own. In fact, it has been this Monday when he has delivered it, as confirmed by the Russian chief negotiator, Vladimir Medinski.
After his delay and having delivered it at the same meeting, Ukraine has assured that It will take a week to analyze and answer the conditions presented by Russia to declare the 30 -day fire that Kyiv asks and thus give a boost to peace negotiations. All these demands had already been previously formulated by Putin at a meeting with the dome of the Russian Foreign Ministry and had been rejected by Ukraine, which considers them inadmissible.
Moscow and Kyiv agree a new exchange of prisoners
Beyond the crossing of documents on Monday, at the meeting between Russia and Ukraine that has barely lasted one hour, both countries have only reached an agreement: a plan for exchange prisoners that they are seriously injured or that are very young, between 18 and 25 years.
The other minimum approach has been with the Ukrainian children that Ukraine accuses Russia of having kidnapped during the war. Zelenski’s emissaries have delivered a list with almost 400 names of those children, but Russia has denied these accusations. Moreover, the only thing that has been committed is to “study” the case of 10 of those children.
The last surprise of the meeting has been put on Ukraine on the table. Given the minimum advance of the negotiations, they have proposed that the next meeting is celebrated three bands With the presidents of Ukraine, the USA and Russia – Volodimir Zelenski, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, respectively – between June 20 and 30.
This is the last diplomatic movement of Ukraine after one of his greatest attacks against Russia in what we lead. In his’Cobweb operation‘, Ukraine has burst more than a third of Russian strategic aviation with drones of 500 euros and have prepared for a year, six months and 9 days. An offensive based on drones that Putin will take a long time to forget.
