Russia has stated that any peace agreement with Ukraine must include 'ironclad' guarantees that NATO will exclude Kyiv from membership and that Ukraine will remain neutral.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko emphasized that these security assurances must be a formal part of any treaty. The demand comes as Western military leaders prepare to meet in London to discuss potential peacekeeping efforts in Ukraine. Russia's insistence on Ukraine's neutrality is a key sticking point in negotiations, reflecting its broader opposition to NATO expansion.
The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact the future of the conflict and European security dynamics.
