A day before the Ukraine conference in Switzerland, the Kremlin boss proposes a dictated peace with maximum demands: withdrawal of troops from ‘New Russia’, no NATO (see video above).
The day before the Ukraine conference in Switzerland, in which Russia “has no interest,” Putin surprised everyone with an “offer to negotiate” a dictated peace in Ukraine. It is a bundle of maximum demands.
Ukraine must withdraw its troops from the provinces of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia “within their official borders”, areas that Russia has only partially occupied. It must confirm that Crimea belongs to Russia and also declare that it will not join NATO.
Putin surprised the audience at the Foreign Ministry in Moscow by saying he had never had in mind the capture of Kiev. He simply wanted to pressure Ukraine into negotiations. As is known, Russian airborne troops had landed near Kiev and tanks were already ready for the victory parade.
Looking for peace and quiet in the Swiss mountain air
The big Ukraine conference starts on Saturday high above Lake Lucerne in the Bürgenstock hotel complex. Forty heads of state and government, including Chancellor Nehammer, and ninety international organizations will discuss with President Zelensky ways to find a peace solution. However, Russia and China, Brazil, etc. are missing and Washington only sends Vice President Harris.
The initiative for this conference came from Ukrainian President Zelensky, who was seeking support. He wants to dissuade the global South from adopting their pro-Russian stance and remind them how much these states need Ukraine as a grain supplier. He hopes to convince these countries of the Ukrainian formula for a just peace, based on international law. Switzerland provided the conference location.
However, Putin’s cross shot with the maximum demands for a dictated peace shows how long the road to a real peace solution still is. The Kremlin boss wants to keep fighting.
