According to Western media, Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to cease fire on the line of contact, but he has two conditions.
The politician wants to receive security guarantees from his Western partners, as well as a promise to speed up the process of Ukraine's accession to the EU.
He is ready for a ceasefire along the current front line, without recognizing new borders, in exchange for Western guarantees, MIA " Russia Today " quotes an excerpt from the publication Corriere della Sera.
Zelensky expects to receive security guarantees from the United States, following the model of Japan, South Korea and the Philippines.
He expects promises from European officials to speed up the process of Ukraine's accession to the European Union.
Let us recall that earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin named the conditions that could become the beginning of a settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
Kyiv must completely withdraw its troops from the territories of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.
Next, he must recognize the inclusion of these territories into the Russian Federation.
The next condition is the consolidation of Ukraine’s neutral, non-aligned, non-nuclear status, as well as its demilitarization and denazification.
Moscow expects the rights, freedoms and interests of Russian-speaking citizens to be ensured, as well as the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions.
