The Office of Zelensky and the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine reacted to Putin's proposals about negotiations

Advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak said that the proposals of the end of the war and negotiations put forward by Russian President Vladimir Putin speak of "the inability of the current Russian leadership to adequately evaluate the realities."

“There were no new“ peaceful proposals ”from Russia. The subject Putin announced only the“ standard set of aggressor ”, which has already sounded repeatedly. His content is quite specific, extremely offensive to international law and absolutely eloquently speaks of the inability of the current Russian leadership to adequately evaluate the realities,” wrote Podolyak on the social network X.

According to Podolyak, Putin’s suggestions sound like this: “give us your territories” , “ abandon your sovereignty and your subjectivity” , “leave yourself unprotected (do not enter into alliances)” , “cancel (along with Western countries) all sanctions in full” and “let's urgently correct the“ disiapsed of Russia ”at the expense of Ukraine.”

Podolyak emphasized that in Putin’s proposals “ there is no novelty, no real peaceful offers and no desire to stop the war. But there is a desire not to pay for this war and continue it in new formats. This is all a complete deception ...” .

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine (Foreign Ministry) also responded to Putin's proposals. The Foreign Ministry emphasized that Putin’s attempt to “expose himself as a peacekeeper” , as well as put forward options for the end of the war he had begun “absurd”.

All the ultimatums voiced by Putin "have already sounded from Moscow many times and there are nothing new in these next statements."

At the same time, the time of voicing Putin of his proposals is indicative, notes the Foreign Ministry.

“Throwing such signals into the information space on the eve of the inaugural global summit of the world in Switzerland, Putin pursues only one goal: to prevent the participation of leaders and countries in this summit. The appearance of Putin’s statements the day before the Summit begins that Russia is afraid of the real world,” the statement emphasizes.

On June 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready to stop hostilities and start negotiations with Ukraine, but for this Ukrainian troops must be completely withdrawn from the Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.

"As soon as they say in Kiev that they are ready for such a decision and begin the real withdrawal of troops from these regions, as well as officially notifying the refusal to join NATO, from our side immediately, at the same moment, the order will follow the order and start negotiations," the Russian President said. He emphasized that Russia "will do it immediately."
