Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, in an interview with TASS, listed Moscow’s demands on Kyiv to achieve peace. In particular, Ukraine must refuse to join the EU and NATO.

According to the deputy minister, first of all, in order to “settle the conflict”, Ukraine must stop hostilities, and Western countries must stop supplying weapons.
At the same time, in order to achieve a “comprehensive, just and strong peace,” Galuzin told TASS propagandists, Ukraine must return to a neutral non-bloc status, and also recognize “new territorial realities that have emerged as a result of the realization of the right of peoples to self-determination.”
The Deputy Minister added that another important element in achieving peace is the protection of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens and national minorities:
At the legislative level, the state status of the Russian language should be fixed. It is necessary to achieve observance in Ukraine of basic human rights, in particular, the right to freedom of religion.
Previously, Russia did not demand that Ukraine renounce its membership in the European Union and secure the status of the state language for the Russian language.
In particular, in June 2022, dictator Putin said that Moscow is not against Ukraine’s entry into the EU, because it is not a military organization, a military-political bloc, unlike NATO.
At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly said that they consider the only condition for the end of the war to be the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine.
