The first section of the Russian road map lists the demands that Ukraine should accept as part of a long -term peace agreement. These are:
- International recognition of the Russian occupation of the provinces of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Khersonin addition to the peninsula of Crimeaannexed in 2014.
- Indefinite commitment of Ukraine with neutralitywhich means that it should never join military alliances and coalitions such as NATO; prohibition of future military deployments and foreign infrastructure in Ukraine; the termination of all existing security agreements of Ukraine and a permanent prohibition that Ukraine has nuclear weapons.
- Lifting of international sanctions that weigh on Russia.
- Protection of “full rights, freedoms and interests” of Russians and Russian speakers in Ukraine. That legislates against the “glorification and propaganda of Nazism.”

The second part of the road map of Putin It requires that Ukraine and Russia adopt two ways for a high fire. The first, that Ukraine is completely withdrawn from the unusual areas of the provinces of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson up to a distance not specified beyond the borders of said provinces. The second requires that Ukraine accept a different set of Russian demands, including:
- Prohibit the redeploin of all Ukrainian units, except as part of the withdrawals of the provinces of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson.
- End all efforts to generate Ukrainian forces, initiate demobilization, put an end to martial law and organize presidential elections within 100 days following the end of martial law and choose a new government.

In the third section of the Russian memorandum, a 30 -day term is set for the complete retirement of the Ukrainian forces of the provinces of Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson from the beginning of the truce.
Ukraine is also required to choose a new government before signing a formal peace agreement with Russia.
To guarantee compliance with cease-firea bilateral control and monitoring center will be created.
Once the new executive and legislative bodies have been formed in Ukraine, the peace treaty would be signed, which would be ratified and would take effect after being supported by the corresponding resolutions of the United Nations.
Several of these points have already been previously rejected by Ukraine.
“Unacceptable for any country”

The international analyst Francisco Belaunde Matossian He described as “maximalist claim” the Russian roadmap and said that “Obviously, it is unacceptable to any country.”
“It is consolidating its conquests and pretending to completely disarm Ukraine. It is absurd. In the background, it is a way of saying that they do not want peace “Belaunde said Commerce.
Belaunde indicated that the document does not give indications that Russia be willing to make concessions. “They must be aware that this is unacceptable to Ukraine. Unless Putin thinks that Donald Trump can press Ukraine to accept the road map, but European allies would never accept it. ”
“It can also be for the Russians a way of saying that they are in favor of peace, because they are presenting a proposal, but I repeat, what they propose is absolutely unacceptable, because Not only is the conquest of Ukraine consecrated, but its complete disarmamentin addition to asking for a new government, something that is an internal issue of Ukraine ”Belaunde emphasized.
When asking for all those demands Russia In reality, what he wants is to maintain war to get militarily what is in the documents? “Of course. Putin has no intention of stopping war. None”, Said Belaunde.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is mediating to get an agreement that ends the war, as promised in the campaign, when he said that in a few days he would have the matter solved.
However, almost 5 months after the start of his government, it is worth asking if it is time for the US president to recognize that Putin He is not willing to put aside his original demands to end the war, so an agreement with Ukraine would be impossible.
“Donald Trump is a person who has sympathy for Putin, and who has no sympathy for Zelensky, despite everything. Trump has criticized Russian bombings to civil areas, but for example, so far he is not willing to impose new sanctions on Russia”said Belaunde.
“So, Trump is an absolutely unpredictable guy. Even in the end I could say ‘I am no longer interested in this issue. I no longer get into.’ That would imply that they can lift the sanctions to Russia and say, ‘Well, it is not my problem,’ ‘said the analyst.
Finally, Belaunde considered that this approach between Russia and Ukraine will not lead to a peace agreement. “At least until now, nothing is seen, no possibility that there may be a real peace. Ukraine has already said that its territory will not give in.”
