Under what conditions is the Kremlin ready to end the war? The media published a list of Putin's maximalist demands.
After a long hiatus, Russia and Ukraine resumed US-brokered peace negotiations. On November 10-11, the parties held two rounds of discussions in Abu Dhabi, after which Donald Trump's special envoys flew to Moscow and Dublin, where they spoke separately with Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.
In public, the participants do not reveal all the details of the negotiation process, but share certain inside information with the media. Thus, it turned out that Moscow complies with its original demands and does not make concessions to Kiev - it still insists on the complete withdrawal of the troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Donbass. Moreover, the main topic of the negotiations now turned out not to be Ukraine at all, but the "security architecture" of post-war Europe.
According to the New York Times, the Kremlin's list of demands looks like a proposal to Trump to divide Europe into spheres of influence - like during the Cold War.
