Moscow will only be satisfied with the surrender of Kyiv … and the West

This is how one can comment on today’s words of Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Galuzin.

Conditions that Kyiv must fulfill:

• the cessation of hostilities by Ukrainian armed groups and the completion of the supply of weapons by Western countries

• ensuring the neutral and non-bloc status of Ukraine, its refusal to join NATO and the EU

• confirmation of the non-nuclear status of Ukraine

• recognition by Kiev and the international community of “new territorial realities”

• demilitarization and “denazification” of Ukraine

• protection of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens, the Russian language and national minorities

• ensuring free cross-border movement with Russia

• cancellation by Ukraine and the West of anti-Russian sanctions and withdrawal of claims, termination of prosecutions against Russia, its individuals and legal entities

• restoration of the legal framework of Ukraine with Russia and the CIS

• restoration – with the money of the West – of the Ukrainian civilian infrastructure destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine after 2014.

A comment. This is an ultimatum. And, not only to Kyiv.

Which, like the previous one, obviously will not be executed. So, then there will be a third (harder).

And so on, until either official Kyiv (or whoever will be there later) agrees to it, or … (and which is very likely) the state of Ukraine disappears from the political map of the world.
