"This is not a peaceful proposal": NATO did not support Putin's conditions for negotiation

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg stated that Ukraine should not remove troops from its territory, but Russia must be removed. However, Putin does not want it. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has stated that Russia really does not want negotiations, but would only strengthen its aggression. He stated this at a press conference in Brussels after a two-day meeting of the Ministers of Defense of the Alliance Member States.

According to Stoltenberg, Kremlin head Vladimir Putin wants to occupy more territories of Ukraine. That is why he put his "conditions" for negotiations. "It is not Ukraine to take away troops from the Ukrainian territory, it should remove its troops from the occupied Ukrainian land," NATO Secretary General. Stoltenberg also stated that the proposal of the Kremlin head was not made "in the spirit of goodwill.

" Moscow wants great military successes that Ukraine abandons a large part of its territory - even more than the Russian Federation is controlled now. "Therefore, this is not a peaceful proposal. It is a proposal of greater aggression, more occupation. And it shows that the purpose of Russia is to control Ukraine," the official said. We will remind, Putin named the conditions for the beginning of negotiations with Ukraine.

According to him, Ukrainian troops should be completely withdrawn from the territories of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. Ukraine itself must give an obligation not to join NATO or other military unit, maintaining neutral non -nuclear status. Later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stated that Putin wants to undermine diplomatic efforts that are aimed at achieving a just peace because it is afraid of it.
