Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, clarified the conditions for reaching a peace agreement at a press conference, including: demilitarization of Ukraine, de-Nazification, neutrality, non-military alliance and nuclear-free status, recognition of the territorial status quo, protection of the rights of the Russian language and Russian-speaking population, and an end to persecution of the Orthodox Church.
In fact, Russia's conditions have never changed; it is the West that keeps saying that Russia has changed its conditions.
Zakharova also stated that Ukraine's security guarantees should be the result of negotiations, not a condition for negotiations. This essentially means that Russia is telling the West that discussing security guarantees for Ukraine unilaterally, without Russia, is pointless, and Russia will not accept any unilateral so-called security guarantees for Ukraine from the West.
