Putin sets out Russia's conditions for peace talks with Ukraine

Vladimir Putin says Russia will order a ceasefire and enter peace talks if Ukraine drops its Nato ambitions and withdraws its forces from four Ukrainian regions claimed by Moscow.

On the eve of a peace conference in Switzerland to which Russia has not been invited, Putin set out a series of conditions at odds with the terms demanded by Ukraine. Russia controls nearly a fifth of Ukrainian territory in the third year of the war. Ukraine says peace can only be based on a full withdrawal of Russian forces and the restoration of its territorial integrity

So basicly a demand for surrender and promisses of beeing defenceless for the next attack

So if Ukrainian defence forces were to leave Donetsk would you trust Russia to not push any further into Ukraine??

[nostro]

I don't understand. He's acting like he's about to conquer kiev 😂

The clip ends early, but he also asked for all washing machines to be handed over too.

“I’ll stop robbing your house if you give me 20% of your bank account and promise to never call the police or join the neighbourhood watch”

[tikimandude]

Come on bro I just want the Sudetenland, nothing more. Please we'll stop at the Sudetenland, you can trust us bro

[kriskris]

This Putin offer for peace is not the best, but it’s much more better than the next one

But how will Mr. Lockheed and Mr. Martin feed their children if this conflict ends?

It is obvious that the proposal was made with the aim of not being accepted. Apparently this is necessary to move on to the next phase.

[nintendokings]

Basically: “guys just give us all this land for no reason, and you cannot join a defensive pact because we want to rebuild our attack to annex the rest later”

[leofedorov]

Russia’s condition: “Ukraine must leave Ukraine” 🙄

"Trust me, I won't steal from you if you just give me your things and stop locking your doors and windows." - Russia

[sarxeye]

I hope Ukraine doesn't give up territories. Russia will recover and then continue the aggressions

[gertwallen]

Putin:"If you give me 20% of your country and promise me 100% loyalty to my expansion plans to add more territory in the future I will temporarily cease fire"

[caseybrion]

They ALL need to keep talking to eachother! Both sides, Russia, NATO, China, the US. Just don't stop talking to each other! Even if all you guys are doing is yelling! Keep talking! Something has to break!

[Zere]

Sounds more like "terms of surrender" to me.

[Anna-hzje]

Ppl r funny. Nato came first and had 24 bases there before 2014. THEN the war started

[robertseaborne]

Given the immediate and irrational response of Ukraine and the NATO bloc to Putin's speech, when faced with their inevitable defeat on the conventional battlefield, it is most likely that NATO will be the first to resort to the use of nuclear weapons.

[mascness_gaming]

I have just checked my calendar that today is not "April's fool day" Putin !

[KiwiGraggle]

How can they hold peace talks without Russia being present?. I do not buy into any of this from Switzerland. Cheers.
