He added that Russia will send a working group to the UAE for negotiations, which will consist only of representatives from the Ministry of Defense.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces must leave Donbas to end the war. This is one of the conditions for signing a peace agreement, stated Dmitry Peskov, press secretary to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a comment to the propaganda outlet RIA Novosti .

“The Ukrainian armed forces must leave the territory of Donbas; this is an important condition of the Russian side,” Peskov stated.

Furthermore, Putin’s press secretary stated that Moscow does not want to publicly go into details within the framework of the negotiation process on Ukraine, as it considers this inappropriate.

Russia’s security working group at the UAE talks will consist solely of Defense Ministry representatives, he added. They received corresponding instructions from Putin last night.

    • Krasnov’s Greenland bullshit now appears to have been just a ploy to strengthen putler’s hand in the “negotiations.”

      Today, just like all the other contacts with the putler murder gang will be futile, just like all the others.

        • But he got pretty much what he wanted without a shot being fired.
          Today’s 2 on 1 “negotiation” is just theatre to force a Ukraine capitulation.
          We can expect another anti-Zel explosion to come from Krasnov when the putler “offer” is declined.
          I very much hope I’m wrong though.

          “Russia will continue to consistently pursue the objectives of the ‘special military operation’ as long as a political and diplomatic settlement cannot be achieved,” — Yuri Ushakov.”

          • russia are sending some low level janitor to these negotiations, so nothing will come of it. I don’t think Zel will back down one inch. He should demand to know what TACO and putler agreed in Anchorage. That’s all the mafia regime keep talking about, so let’s hear the details.

  1. Trump and Putin agreed whole Donbass will be Russia: Trump : we have a deal, but Zelensky wants no peace and keeps blocking the deal.

  2. The Moskali say they don’t negotiate in public, but they sure do give ultimatums in public. The Moskali are desperate, don’t believe them or their propaganda….if you’re smart.
