In 2022, Vadim Novinsky, at Zelensky's request, negotiated with Moscow. There were three demands: to remove NATO policy from the constitution, to recognize the special status of Crimea and a certain status of Donbass. According to him, Zelensky agreed to everything - and changed his mind after Istanbul. Four years later, the conditions are different: the withdrawal of troops from four regions, the abandonment of NATO, and now a "post-conflict security system." With each breakdown of negotiations, Russia's conditions became increasingly difficult.
