Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, contingent upon Ukraine surrendering four southeastern regions—Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Luhansk, and Donetsk—currently partially occupied by Russian forces. Additionally, Putin demands that Ukraine renounce its plans to join NATO and adopt a neutral, nonaligned, and nonnuclear status. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected these terms, labeling them as an ultimatum and comparing Putin's actions to the revival of Nazism. Zelensky emphasized that these proposals are no different from previous demands made by Russia and reiterated that there will be no frozen conflict. The Ukrainian leader also likened the situation to Adolf Hitler's invasion of Czechoslovakia, asserting that Putin's conditions are manipulative and unacceptable. These developments come ahead of the Switzerland peace summit, and the proposals echo harsh parameters from the Istanbul 2022 drafts. Zelensky made his remarks in an interview with Sky TG24.
