The Russian side emphasizes the elimination of the root causes of the conflict: Zelenskyy needs to step down and the situation in Ukraine becomes a focal point.

Recently, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said, "We first hope to eliminate the conflict at its source in order to solve the problems as soon as possible. This is the most important point in all of our upcoming projects."

Peskov said, "Obviously, the United States hopes to achieve results as soon as possible. President Trump of the United States also mentioned this point. President Putin of Russia also agrees with this view. Everyone hopes to solve the problems as soon as possible."

Eliminating the root cause of the conflict means that Ukraine cannot have an army, cannot join NATO, President Zelenskyy must step down, and the territories seized must be recognized as belonging to Russia.

These are exactly the conditions that President Zelenskyy firmly opposes and absolutely refuses to accept. For Russia to achieve this goal, it must first remove President Zelenskyy as an obstacle and select a leader in Ukraine who can accept these conditions, which are all very difficult tasks.
