Vladimir Putin wants 4 regions and NATO withdrawal! Peace in Ukraine seems impossible

Russia has rejected US proposals to end the war in Ukraine in their current form, as they do not address the issues that Moscow says are causing the conflict. This was reported by Reuters, citing Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

According to him, Moscow is still unable to move the agreement forward.

"We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans very seriously, but we cannot accept all of this in its current form. "As far as we can see, today they do not include our main demand, namely to resolve the issues related to the root causes of this conflict. "There is no room and this must be overcome," Ryabkov said.

The British agency recalls that in recent days, US President Donald Trump has stated that he is “furious” with Putin and has spoken of imposing sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil if he believes that Russia is blocking the deal.

Putin has stated that he wants Ukraine to give up its ambitions to join NATO and for Russia to receive all four regions of Ukraine that it claims as its own. Russia's demands also include a reduction in the size of the Ukrainian army.

Before last weekend, Trump had taken a more conciliatory stance toward Russia, which confused the United States' European allies as he tries to mediate an end to the four-year conflict in Ukraine.

As previously reported, the Trump administration's attempts to end the war in Ukraine through a "land for peace" deal are looking increasingly fruitless by the day.
