Zakharova: The goal of Putin’s initiative is to end the war

According to Isna, “Maria Zakharova”, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said on Thursday: “President Vladimir Putin’s peace initiative is not to freeze the war in Ukraine to renew the forces of the Kiev regime, but to end it.”

According to Sputnik, he added: “The initiative of the Russian president will remain a global and long-term solution to the conflict in Ukraine, as it includes a method to eliminate its root causes.”

In the end, this Russian diplomat emphasized: “The essence of this initiative is the withdrawal of the Ukrainian armed forces from the new regions of Russia, including Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson.” “Also, Kyiv should give up its membership in NATO, and all Western sanctions against Russia should be removed, and the rights of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine should be respected.”
