The Kremlin declared that Russia will stop its military offensive in Ukraine if Kiev accepts his conditions, which include the recognition of Crimea as Russian territory and the independence of Donbas, the pro-Russian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk.
The Russian military operation in Ukraine can end “at any time” if Ukraine meets the conditions set by Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said.
Ukraine must amend its Constitution to renounce membership in “any bloc”, recognize Crimea as Russian territory and officially accept the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Peskov said, quoted by the official RIA Novosti news agency.
“Actually, we are already concluding the demilitarization of Ukraine. And we will finish it. They (Ukrainians) must abandon military actions,” the spokesman said.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the military invasion of Ukraine under the pretext of protecting the Russian-speaking population of the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Lugansk, and demanded the demilitarization and “denazification” of the neighboring country.
