Russia’s conditions for peace talks with Ukraine
The Russian Foreign Minister declared: “A peaceful agreement with Ukraine is possible only if Kiev stops its plans to join NATO, closes Western military bases on Ukrainian territory and cancels exercises with the presence of foreign troops. ”
According to Isna, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukraine must now accept the facts and that the main focus of Moscow’s conditions for peace talks with Kiev is the acceptance of Moscow’s control over the regions of Zaporizhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk, adding: “No membership in NATO should not be. Certainly, there should be no military base or military exercises in the territory of Ukraine with the presence of foreign forces.
According to Tass News agency, the Russian Foreign Minister further emphasized that Moscow cannot tolerate the fact that the language, media, Russian culture and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are prohibited under Ukrainian law.
Lavrov also added: “These are violations of the requirements and obligations of Ukraine based on the UN Charter, and something should be done about them.”
The Russian Foreign Minister also pointed out that although this Russophobia law has been implemented since 2017, the West has remained completely silent in front of it.
According to this senior Russian diplomat, Moscow’s position is quite clear; No NATO membership should be considered for Ukraine. Also, the rights of Russians should be fully restored.
Lavrov also emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about Russia’s attack on Ukraine and said: “This attack is fair and completely based on the charter.” It was the United Nations. First, linguistic and religious rights and the rights of minorities must be implemented.
He also stated that the other conditions of the peace negotiations with Ukraine are the cancellation of the decree of Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the president of this country, banning negotiations with Putin and abandoning anti-Russian and Russophobic policies by Ukraine.
The Russian Foreign Minister also announced that Moscow is ready to provide the necessary security guarantees to Ukraine along with other countries.
