Russia reiterated today that it will not accept a European peacekeeping mission in Ukraine after a ceasefire agreement is signed. Essentially, the Russians demand: • Recognition of the Ukrainian territories they have invaded and occupied, • The overthrow of Zelensky’s government, • A rewrite of Ukraine’s constitution to permanently ban NATO membership, • A prohibition on foreign arms shipments to Ukraine, • The complete demilitarization of the country, and • A ban on any peacekeeping mission that could hinder future Russian invasions.
