Russian invasion of Ukraine/Peace Talks

• From 2019 until February 24, 2022, Ukraine engaged in 88 rounds of diplomatic negotiations with Russia, mediated by France and Germany, in an attempt to bring an end to the war. However, Russia imitated diplomacy while preparing for a full-scale assault. @United24media has more.

• Exclusive: As war began, Putin rejected a Ukraine peace deal recommended by aide

• US offered disarmament measures to Russia in exchange for deescalation of military threat in Ukraine

• For all idiots who ask “why Ukraine is not ready for negotiations”: Russia says, Ukraine must transfer to Russia three additional regions: Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, just as a precondition for “negotiations”.
  • В Совете Федерации потребовали от Украины еще три области для начала переговоров - The Federation Council demanded from Ukraine three more regions to start negotiations

• Talks on Ukraine possible if West, Kiev lay down arms —Russian senior diplomat
  • МИД РФ: переговоры по Украине возможны при трезвом подходе США

• Russia ready for peace talks with Ukraine, but on its conditions – ambassador

• I want to know *exactly* what Ukraine should negotiate with Russia. What, specifically should Ukraine agree to give RU? Negotiation is a way to RESOLVE an issue in a way that BOTH parties find acceptable. So what, I ask, do people think is ACCEPTABLE for UKRAINE to concede?

• Making clear that when Russia says that Ukraine must “recognize territorial realities” in order for peace negotiations to begin, they mean Ukraine must surrender one of its major industrial centers, which Russia has never come close to taking. To *begin* negotiations.
