Putin's "Peace Proposal" was a drawing for the destruction of Ukraine in 2022: new documents appeared

But the new documents confirmed that the proposed conditions would have left Ukraine in international isolation, in addition, separated and disarmed. Kyiv would be absolutely incapable of protecting against re -Russian aggression. Atlantic Council writes about it. The projected proposal of the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin, in fact, was a prologue to the unconditional surrender - a drawing on the destruction of the Ukrainian state.

The documents that Radio Liberty have been laid down, shed light on how rigid the Kremlin's requirements were. In the sense of territorial concessions, Ukraine should completely abandon Crimea and Donbass, as well as agree with the occupation of territories that were under Russian control at the time, until they decide in Moscow that their conditions are fully fulfilled.

Kyiv also demanded the approval of the Russian language as official and adoption of a number of laws on religion, history and national identity, which reserves the policy of Russification of the Soviet and imperial era. In the Russian Federation, the requirements of the reduction of the army to "skeletal level" - 50 thousand people, approximately 1/5 of the pre -war level.

Hard restrictions were also imposed on the number of weapons that the Armed Forces could possess, the type of missiles that the country could develop. The Kremlin's "peaceful" plan also demanded that Ukraine reject NATO joining and bilateral military agreements. Russia also insisted on a prohibition on the military response from the event in the event of repetition of aggression. If the Ukrainian leadership adopted such a slightly veiled ultimatum, the country would be unarmed and defenseless.

Putin's proposal in 2022, in fact, envisaged the destruction of Ukrainian statehood - Ukraine would be erased from the world card. Without Western military assistance. Without his own army. The demoralized and retaining fragment of Ukraine would be in a position in which he could not resist serious resistance if Russia decided to repeat the invasion.

The Putin's plan could be in establishing full military control or a puppet government-in any case, in such circumstances, an independent state would not last long. Most of Ukraine would be immediately annexed, and the rest of the territories would be governed by Kremlin loyalists. The terms of the peace agreement of 2022, which Putin repeatedly repeated, in fact, look ridicule that Ukraine could complete the war through a compromise with the Kremlin - "peace in exchange in the territory".

The Kremlin's goals are far from limiting 20% ​​of the territory that is still under Russian occupation. And include the absorption of the whole country with a systematic suppression of Ukrainian identity. Against the backdrop of the choir, which call for a peace agreement on the current demarcation line, the authors of the publication raise the question of why Putin insists on the disarmament of Ukraine.

In the end, this approach looks unjustified, even on the basis of Russian national security reasons, AC notes. No serious study will show that Ukraine poses a real military threat to a much larger and more powerful Russian Federation. The only clear reason for the disarmament of Ukraine is to leave the whole country defenseless to the mercy of Putin. This is his true intentions and imperialist ambitions.

From the very beginning, the Kremlin head considered a full -scale invasion of Ukraine as its historical mission, which would become decisive for its place in Russian history and the place of Russia in the modern world, the publication writes. Attempts to relate it with limited territorial concessions will be a help for further Russian aggression in Ukraine and will not be limited.
