The demands that russia has presented to Ukraine for ending the aggression confirm the legal and factual incapacity of the russian leadership. This was stated by Mykhailo Podoliak, an advisor to the head of the President's Office, on Twitter, in response to russia's statement about Ukraine's surrender.

"Demands of russia" told through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the russian federation rather confirm the legal and factual incapacity of the russian leadership. Therefore, only "the conditions of Ukraine" are realistic... Immediate withdrawal of all troops from the sovereign territory of Ukraine. Final recognition of the collapse of the USSR and full sovereignty of the post-Soviet countries. Extradition of war criminals and authors of war. Fixing the demilitarization zone (buffer zone) on the territory of the russian federation. Reduction of offensive weapons (missiles with extended range). International conference to organize control over the nuclear arsenal of the russia. A legally fixed program of reparation payments, including a voluntary renunciation of russian assets seized in other countries in favor of Ukraine...", – he wrote.

Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister of russia, Mikhail Galuzin, gave an interview to russian propagandists in which he outlined the "conditions" for the alleged cessation of russian aggression against Ukraine. He stated that Ukraine should "end hostilities", surrender, abandon Western weapons, Euro-Atlantic integration, and recognize the occupation of Ukrainian territories. Additionally, Galuzin reiterated the familiar kremlin propaganda narratives about the "suppression of Orthodoxy and the russian language".
