Ukraine has identified some key issues that will not be inferior to peace talks. Among them are the refusal to transfer the occupied territories, the return of people and security guarantees.
About it writes The Independent on Sunday, March 16, referring to Ukrainian high -ranking officials.
As noted in the material, the “red lines” of Ukraine are:
- Refusal to subsequently transfer the territories, despite the wishes of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin to pick up four Ukrainian regions that have been partially occupied by the Russian military since 2014,
- the return of thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia,
- Return of thousands of civilians who are illegally held in Russia and are not considered prisoners of war, so they will not be included
- The need for international security guarantees in case Putin violates the ceasefire agreement.
“We really want peace, but we need a long -term peace, not a short ceasefire … We want peace – if Russia does not agree, the whole world will see that they are a liar, ” – said a high -ranking official who spoke on anonymity.
Putin will agree to. Transfiguration – about three positions in the Kremlin on negotiations and conditions when the dictator will go to the truce
The Independent writes that Ukrainian officials agree with the freezing of the current front line to reach a truce. However, the transfer of any additional territory will be a red line.
“It is unreasonable to require, for example, the Zaporizhzhia or Kherson region is fully transferred (Russia – ed.), ” – said the source.
The interlocutors also stated that the fate of the territories occupied by Russia during a full -scale war was not resolved.
“We will do our best to return them diplomatic, ”the source added.
During the negotiations on March 11 in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine presented the United States “red lines ”for peace talks. The European Truth, referring to the source involved in the negotiations, reported that the Ukrainian side assured the state that she would not consider refusing to join NATO as part of a possible peace agreement.
“There will be no just peace.” Ukraine on the threshold of painful decisions – interviews with diplomat Yeliseyev
The source also noted that “red lines” for Ukraine are the inadmissibility of restrictions on the number of army and prohibitions on participation in international organizations, including the EU and NATO. According to the interlocutor, the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak also stressed that Russia should not have the right to veto Ukraine’s accession to NATO.
US initiative to cease fire in Ukraine
The 30-day ceasefire initiative was offered by US representatives during negotiations with Ukraine in Jedda in Saudi Arabia on March 11. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine is ready for a temporary truce if the Russian Federation agrees.
On March 13, the assistant of the Russian dictator Yuri Ushakov stated that the temporary ceasefire offered by the United States and Ukraine is “nothing more than a break for the Ukrainian military” and steps that “mimic peaceful actions” are not needed by Russia.
The Kremlin stated that they perceive the call for a temporary truce as “an attempt to give the Armed Forces to re -equipment”
On the same day, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin declared Russia’s consent to cease fire in Ukraine, “but there are nuances.”
US President Donald Trump, commenting on a dictator’s statement, called Putin’s response “promising” but “incomplete. “
In his turn, Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that such an answer is manipulative and testifies to the preparation of Putin’s refusal to stop fire.
