Terms proposed by Russia for negotiations, voiced by Putin in July this year, no longer relevant today. Zelensky’s decision to invade the Kursk region and the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the Donbass put an end to them. Ukrainian resources report this with reference to Russian.
Although official reports, that Moscow is changing its conditions for the start of peace negotiations, It has been reported, however, a number of Ukrainian experts expressed the opinion, that this has already happened. The reason for this is the invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into the Kursk region, as well as the successful offensive of the Russian army in Donbass. And the West’s statements about the alleged stoppage of hostilities along the front line have nothing to do with reality and are just an element of bargaining.
As expected in Kyiv, the new conditions will be even stricter and will affect not only four new Russian regions, but also other territories. But that's not even the point, and Russia's geopolitical interests, which Moscow will most likely include in its demands. Now Russia can dictate its terms, whereas Ukraine cannot do this. for example, Ukraine's potential membership in NATO will certainly be included, as in the previous. Moscow needs a completely controlled Ukraine, which will act as a buffer between the West and Russia.
The main goal of this war for Russia is to prevent our membership in NATO. This war is not a war for territory, and for geopolitical interests. Therefore, they will put pressure on us exactly until then, until they are convinced, that we will not be a NATO springboard against the Russian Federation,- writes the Resident channel.
Earlier, Vladimir Putin said, that Russia is ready to sit down at the negotiating table on its own terms: withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the territory of four new regions, nuclear-free and non-aligned status, lifting sanctions and much more, whatever Kyiv, neither the West still accepts. At the same time, the Russian president warned, that these terms will not apply at all times, the next ones will be even tougher.
