It’s so typical of the Kremlin to make demands on those it victimizes. That is upside down abuser logic at its finest. Sadly, there is nothing to negotiate here. Russia’s imperial army must be bled out in the mud of Ukraine until Russia collapses. Again.
Putin today:
“The only real guarantor of the sovereignty and state integrity of Ukraine could only be Russia, which created today’s Ukraine”
That doesn't sound like a very promising initial proposal for peace negotiations....
