Putin's "peaceful" initiative: As the world's media reacted to the Kremlin's proposals

Foreign publications responded to the statement of the Kremlin, who suggested that Ukraine completely abandon the territories of some partially occupied regions. To the honor of Putin, the media said, he first made quite specific proposals. The new "peaceful proposals" did not really come from Russia, because Vladimir Putin only voiced the "standard set of aggressor", which repeatedly sounded.

According to Mikhail Podolyak, the adviser to the head of the Zelensky Office, the content of the initiatives is quite specific, extremely abusive to international law and is absolutely eloquently indicative of the inability of the current Russian leadership to adequately evaluate the realities. In fact, Moscow's proposal looks like this: 1. Give us your territory. 2. Give up sovereignty and subjectivity. 3. Leave yourself without protection. 4.

Cancel all the sanctions completely and immediately so that the Russian Federation can fill the militarized economy and invest more in information provocations around the world. "There is no novelty, real peaceful proposals and a desire to end the war. But there is a desire not to pay for this war and continue it in new formats," - expressed confidence Mikhail Podolyak, offering to get rid of illusions about the Russian Federation and stop perceiving serious "Offers".

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is also convinced that Russia's plans are not peace, but the continuation of war, occupation of Ukraine, destruction of the Ukrainian people and further aggression in Europe. At the same time, the world media did not ignore the statement of the Kremlin. Financial Times writes that the requirements of the Russian president were rarity specific. But Ukraine is unlikely to accept these conditions.

The British newspaper Daily Mail notes that Russia does not completely control any of the four regions, which it illegally annexed in 2022, but Putin stated that Kiev should come from them completely if he wants peace. They are also convinced that Putin made a statement on the eve of Switzerland, if they are considered, as an "unacceptable proposal.

" Independent noted that Putin's statement is a rare case when he clearly outlined his conditions for termination of war in Ukraine but did not include any new requirements. Such an agreement would not have been for President Zelensky, they write in Telegraph, as he refused to concede to any territory of Putin and many times acted with his readiness to join NATO.
