(Rome = Yonhap News) On the 28th (local time) correspondent Shin Chang-yong = Russia declared that recognizing the reality of Ukraine’s annexation of four regions, including Donbas, as part of Russia is a prerequisite for the peace negotiations.

According to Reuters news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a regular briefing that day: “There will be no peace negotiations if Ukraine does not take into account today’s realities regarding the four territories annexed by Russia.”

It is a direct rejection of the 10-point peace talks proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Terms for ending the war proposed by President Zelensky include ▲ nuclear security ▲ food security ▲ energy security ▲ release of prisoners ▲ implementation of the United Nations Charter ▲ withdrawal of Russian troops and cessation of hostilities ▲ restoration of justice ▲ response to environmental needs destruction ▲ prevention of escalation of tensions ▲ consolidation of the end of the war.

The dual core is the withdrawal of Russian troops.

Ukraine demands the return of all four regions, including Donbass (Donetsk and Luhansk regions), Zaporizhzhya and Kherson, as well as the Crimea peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, as well as the newly occupied regions through the invasion of Ukraine in February. they are doing

Kherson, however, was recaptured by Ukrainian forces last month and is now under Ukrainian control.

Ukraine has proposed the return of the occupied territories as a precondition for peace negotiations, but the condition of the return of Crimea, which Russia has ruled for more than eight years, and the Donbass region, which it has used as justification for the war, it is difficult for Russia to accept as it means complete defeat in the war.

Russia has repeatedly stated that peace negotiations with Ukraine are possible, but it does not seem easy to open the waters as both sides are in a tight confrontation on the terms of the negotiations without making any concessions.
