Russian President Vladimir Putin has outlined his conditions for peace talks with Ukraine on Friday. Putin stated that Russia would cease fire and enter peace talks if Ukraine dropped its NATO ambitions and withdrew forces from four Ukrainian regions claimed by Moscow.
He emphasized that the conditions were "very simple" and added, "As soon as Kyiv declares that it is ready for such a decision and begins the actual withdrawal of troops from these regions, as well as officially notifies that they abandon plans to join NATO, an order to cease fire and begin negotiations will immediately follow from our side, literally at the same minute," Putin said.
"If Kyiv and the Western capitals reject it in the same way as before, then, after all, it is their business, they take political and moral responsibility for continuing the bloodshed," Putin added.
However, a Ukrainian presidential aide dismissed Putin's proposal, stating there was "no possibility to find compromise."
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also commented, "I think, you know, he is not, in my view, in a position to dictate to Ukraine what it must do to pursue peace."
