Russia Offers to End War with Ukraine, But at a Cost”Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a ceasefire in the conflict with Ukraine, conditional on Ukraine meeting certain demands.
These include ceding control of disputed territories and abandoning its bid to join NATO. Ukraine’s leadership has dismissed the offer, characterizing it as an attempt to force Ukraine to admit defeat.
Putin’s proposal also includes demands for Ukraine’s demilitarization and ‘denazification’, despite a lack of evidence of neo-Nazi activity in Ukraine’s government.
The offer and response highlight the ongoing challenges in finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict.”
