Ukraine talks: Kremlin says neutral Kyiv status a possible compromise • FRANCE 24 English

The Kremlin said negotiators were discussing a status for Ukraine similar to that of Austria or Sweden, both members of the European Union that are outside the NATO military alliance.

Neutral for Putin means obeying his EVERY command, like a servant.

[diannespink]

Don't give up EU or Nato!! Putin will never be able to be trusted, ease learn. Prayers Ukraine!!

[jebbo-cl]

perhaps a solution, but how can Ukraine possibly trust Russia to stick to any treaty?

[NENEMIES]

You know Russia is getting their teeth kicked in when they start comprimising.

[charlesbrightman]

EVEN 'IF' Ukraine were to declare being neutral, and pledging to never join NATO: I just don't see Putin (Russia) from giving up Crimea and southeast Ukraine in the deal. It would be a 'good' deal for Russia, not so much for Ukraine. (Or so it would seem to me).

[jrg]

We all want peace, but whatever happens russia and pootin MUST pay for everything that they (HE) have done ❤️🇺🇦❤️

[GlenRwodzi]

This should’ve been discussed before all the bloodshed. I’m disappointed😒

[satuksupalakorn]

The problem is Russia talk this but did different way. Zelenzkyy should be very careful about that. If Russia is really a good neighbors Latvia, Estonia & Lithuania doesn't knock the NATO's door.

[suvignanpothuraju]

Kremlin should not determine the Kyviv foreign policy and it sad to Ukraine stance on neutral stand.

[nukedim]

It is a road to peace for Ukraine if Russia keeps the promise and can be trusted. History proved Russia violated Ukrainian nuclear agreement.

[aquavelva]

Ukraine was neutral when Russia stole Crimea and invaded the Donbas?

[annebokma]

Ukraine is winning, their security was supposed to be guaranteed before. Stand strong and demand all of Ukraine territory back and full autonomy. Ukraine should decide itself what it wants to do. Russia has lied and broken every deal so far. Don't let them hold Ukraine hostage just to safe face and make sure they can do this again in the future.

[lionelpayette]

Russia will not dictate Ukraine future. Ukraine will be the new leader of a free Europe going forward, All Russian forces must leave Ukraine now and Russian must pay billions of dollars to rebuild the damage it has caused. It must also agree never to attack Ukraine again. Only then will there be piece. God bless the brave people of Ukraine. ☮❤❤❤

[philipberthiaume]

There's only one acceptable condition, for Russia to leave Ukraine.

[Revixy]

He shouldn't cave in, Join Nato.

[aiev]

Oh yes, right, Legally guaranteed... unlike current situation with 'Budapest Memorandum'…
Oh no wait!

I'd say Ukraine should propose as an alternative to double down Vladimirs in Mausoleum in Kremlin as sign of good will from Russia and after that proceed with negotiations

[MegaMastiffman]

The US and other countries guaranteed Ukraine that we would defend them 8f they gave up there nukes back in 90s I think so what happened there? This is FUBAR.

[eyeinthesky]

"Remember this, in war, there is no unwounded soldier"

[vincentdegennaro]

How about a neutral Ukraine, but arming it to the teeth with the latest defence hardware. Training their armed forces to the same elite standards of the British army…..make them a formidable defended country, like Taiwan!
