Russian Foreign Ministry's Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the Russian and Ukrainian governments disagree regarding the "peace formula" proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
While the Ukrainian government sees it as an important step towards stopping aggression and restoring a just peace, the Russian government views it as a set of ultimatum demands divorced from reality, aimed at achieving Russia's capitulation with the help of the West, according to Zakharova. "In order to achieve a sustainable peace, it is necessary to achieve a cessation of the supply of weapons and mercenaries to Ukraine, the end of hostilities, the return of Ukraine to a neutral non-bloc status, international recognition of the new territorial realities that have developed as a result of the realization of the right of peoples to self-determination," she said, according to Interfax.
