Kremlin Proposes 2022 Draft Document as Basis for Ukraine Peace Talks

The Kremlin suggests reviving a 2022 draft agreement as a starting point for new peace discussions, despite significant changes since its inception.

A 2022 draft agreement initially discussed in Istanbul could restart peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, according to the Kremlin.
Russia demands consideration of 'new realities' in any future negotiations, reflecting changes since 2022, including constitutional amendments and territorial annexations.
Ukrainian officials remain resistant to negotiations without assurances of Russian troop withdrawals and reparations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin mocks the idea of enforced peace plans, indicating readiness for talks but rejecting any imposed terms.
The stalled peace process and ongoing conflict underscore the complex dynamics and challenges in reaching a resolution.
