Putin on the conditions of negotiations with Ukraine:

Putin on the conditions of negotiations with Ukraine: “These conditions are very simple. Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Moreover, I draw your attention, precisely from the entire territory of these regions within their administrative borders, which existed at the time of their entry into Ukraine. As soon as Kiev declares that it is ready for such a decision and begins a real withdrawal of troops from these regions, and also officially notifies of the abandonment of plans to join NATO, an order from our side will immediately follow to cease fire and begin negotiations. We will do this immediately. Naturally, we guarantee the safe and unimpeded withdrawal of Ukrainian units and formations.” Source: Russian Head
