This was reported by Censor, citing The Times.
The publication notes that moscow insists on the “elimination of the root causes of the conflict”, and negotiations, according to putin, are only possible after “security guarantees for russia”.
As U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said, moscow wants “to get territories it hasn't even conquered yet”. There are currently no signs that the kremlin is ready to change its position, the publication believes.
“Some of the mentioned regions are not currently held by the russian army”, - the publication points out.
Journalists note that despite Volodymyr Zelensky’s clear stance that negotiations are only possible after the attacks on Ukrainian cities stop, Donald Trump is demanding an urgent meeting between representatives of Kyiv and moscow.
The kremlin repeats its demands week after week—sometimes changing the wording, but not the essence. By that logic, peace is only possible when Ukraine gives up everything russia demands.
Let us recall that President Volodymyr Zelensky stated he would personally wait for putin in Turkey on May 15.
