Vladimir Putin put forward a deliberately unacceptable demand on the eve of peaceful negotiations and realizes this, preparing to continue the war with Ukraine, representatives of Western intelligence Bloomberg said . According to them, Putin does not intend to compromises on the neutrality of Ukraine, the reduction of its army, territories and the participation of foreign peacekeepers.
The assessment of Putin’s intentions makes him doubt that he is seriously configured for negotiations on realistic and strong peaceful settlement, writes Bloomberg. This assessment also diverges with the opinion of US President Donald Trump, who declared that Putin wants peace.
Putin is ready to continue to fight until he achieves his own, because he does not see incentives to abandon the hard line, which has long determined his approach to Ukraine, Bloomberg sources said.

The main requirements of Putin are the obligation of Ukraine to comply with the neutrality and refusal of the country from the desire to join NATO, the international recognition of the claims of Moscow to the annexed regions and the coordination of the composition of any peacekeeping forces. In addition, Putin at the beginning of a full -scale invasion demanded the “demilitarization” of Ukraine, that is, restrictions on the number of its army, writes Bloomberg.

The question of the participation of peacekeepers and the requirement of “demilitarization” will become an important stumbling block, since only an adequately staffed and equipped army is capable of ensuring the safety of Ukraine, sources of publication say. Also, Russia recently revived the idea of NATO rollback by 1997, before the Military Alliance of Poland, Romania and a number of other Eastern European countries, the publication recalled.
Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow is categorically against any transaction that will allow European troops to act as peacekeepers in Ukraine. “We do not see an opportunity for a compromise,” Lavrov said. He also excluded the possibility of stopping the war in Ukraine “along the line of contact”, referring to the Russian Constitution, according to which Russia includes entirely four regions of Ukraine - Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Lugansk and Donetsk.
