Russia – Ukraine. Head of Russian intelligence about the conditions of peace. I want to renounce four circuits and Crimea

The head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryszkin presented the conditions for the conclusion of a peace agreement between Ukraine and the unlawfully and brutally attacking Russia. It is a renunciation of four circuits occupied by the aggressor and annexed Crimea.

If Ukraine wants to conclude a peace agreement, it should renounce the annexed by Russia regions – Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Cherson and Zaporoski District – such conditions were presented by Sergei Naryszkin, quoted by the Moscow Times.

Other Russian representatives have already demanded that Kyiv waive the occupied territories.

In addition, the head of Russian intelligence mentioned further requirements. This is “recognition of sovereignty” and “current territorial boundaries” of Russia, also a condition for “neutral” Ukraine. He stipulated that Kyiv could not have nuclear weapons. He also pointed to the need for “demilitarization and denazification” of Ukraine.

Naryszkin announced that Russia would demand the cancellation of “all discriminatory provisions” that were supposed to be adopted in Ukraine after 2014. The Russian authorities made the same demands before the start of the full -scale invasion.

Firm Ukraine – will not give up territories

The estimates presented by Moscow Times show that until February the Russian army took 98.6 percent of the territory of the Lugansk region, 62.2 percent of Donetski, 71.9 percent of Zaporoski and 69.3 percent of Kherson. Russia does not control the two main cities of the Zaporoski and Kherson District – that is, Zaporozhye and Chersonia.

The Ukrainian authorities emphasize that the recognition of any Ukrainian lands occupied by Russia as Russian is a “red line” for Kiev, which they will not exceed.

Special envoy USA The Middle East Steve Witkoff, who met in St. Petersburg with Vladimir Putin on Friday, said that the Russian president presented the conditions for achieving a lasting room. In an interview with Fox News, he assessed that the agreement with Russia “emerges” and may change the relationship between the two countries.

Witkoff did not reveal what Putin demanded, but stated that the peace agreement mainly concerns “the so -called five territories”, i.e. parts of Ukraine annexed by Russia, but also many other matters.

As Moscow Times wrote, Russia is trying to extend the peace conversation to take up as much territory as possible. According to the website interlocutor, a person close to the Kremlin, Putin intends to “achieve full control over Ukrainian circuits at all costs, whose” joining “to the Russian Federation has already been entered in the Russian constitution.

The interlocutor of Moscow Times said that current military forces are not able to fight for Kherson and Zaporozhye, so they can try to take other territories, for example part of the Dnepropetrovsk or Sumsk region. Occupied lands in other regions could then be replaced with some of the annexed circuits, which is not under Russian control.
