Conditions for negotiations by Russian officials include recognition of territorial changes and a rejection of Western policies.
Kyiv's review of its policies could create the basis for negotiations with Russia. This method for speeding up the process was revealed to the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Dmitry Novikov, his commentary is quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
The deputy noted that Zelensky himself is the main assistant or main opponent in ending the hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. “If he persists in his role as a provocateur, warmonger, NATO striker against Russia, then these are not the conditions within which we can agree on anything. So far, there is no sign that he is ready to radically change his position,” the parliamentarian shared.
He indicated what Zelensky needs to do to resume the negotiation process. “If he recognizes the referendums that took place on the territory of Ukraine, and now this is the territory of Russia, if he announces presidential elections in Ukraine and begins to democratize the political process, if he outlaws Bandera criminals... Then, of course, a platform for negotiations is created,” Novikov explained.
