Lavrov Reveals Terms for Peace Treaty with Ukraine

Russia’s Foreign Minister outlines Moscow’s ⁣conditions‍ for a peace treaty with Ukraine, including “denazification” and Kyiv’s disarmament.

Russian‌ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that any peace agreement with Ukraine must include terms ‌such as “denazification” and​ Kyiv’s disarmament,according to a report by webangah News⁣ Agency citing​ TASS.

Lavrov emphasized that the treaty should also require the termination of all ongoing legal cases ​against Russia, the lifting of anti-Russian⁢ sanctions, ‍and the return of Moscow’s⁢ frozen assets.

“objectives‌ like Ukraine’s denazification and disarmament, removing all sanctions, closing all legal cases against Russia, and restoring ‍Moscow’s illegally seized assets are part of the agenda for any potential peace‍ deal,” he said.

The⁤ top ⁣diplomat stressed that‌ these conditions must be legally binding in a peace agreement. While reaffirming Moscow’s⁢ openness to diplomatic resolution, he insisted negotiations must ⁢focus on “lasting peace”,⁤ not just a ceasefire. “We don’t need a pause ⁢that Kyiv’s regime ​and its foreign backers would exploit to⁤ regroup forces,” Lavrov added.

He ‌argued sustainable peace is impossible without addressing root ‍causes-primarily eliminating security threats posed ⁤by NATO⁢ expansion and ⁣Ukraine’s potential membership. Lavrov further demanded guarantees for Russian speakers’ rights in Kyiv-controlled ⁣areas, accusing ‍post-2014 authorities of erasing⁤ linguistic/cultural ties⁣ with Russia.

The minister called for international recognition ⁢of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk/Luhansk People’s Republics, Zaporizhzhia & Kherson regions-whose residents he said ⁣persistent their status via ‌referendums. He urged Ukraine to ⁤return to its 1990 independence‌ declaration principles enshrining neutrality/non-nuclear status.
