Putin reveals details of draft treaty on Ukraine’s neutrality
azerbaycan24.com – June 18, 2023
Moscow and Kiev agreed on the general terms of Ukraine’s neutrality and security guarantees during the peace negotiations in March 2022, but Kiev then abruptly discarded the documents its delegation had already signed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday.
During a meeting with a group of African leaders in St. Petersburg, Putin showed for the first time the draft documents that were being discussed by the Russian and Ukrainian emissaries in Türkiye more than a year ago.
According to Putin, the document titled the Treaty on the Permanent Neutrality and Security Guarantees for Ukraine had been signed by the Ukrainian delegation.
The draft stipulates that Ukraine must enshrine “permanent neutrality” in its Constitution. Russia, the US, Britain, China, and France are listed as guarantors.
The addendum to the draft, also shown by Putin, outlines both Russian and Ukrainian proposals regarding the size of Ukraine’s standing army during peacetime, as well as its equipment. Moscow proposed to cap the number of military personnel at 85,000 and the number of the National Guard members at 15,000. Kiev, meanwhile, proposed that its Armed Forces have up to 250,000 troops.
Moscow suggested that Ukraine should be allowed to have 342 tanks, 1,029 armored vehicles, 96 multiple rocket launchers, 50 combat aircraft, and 52 “auxiliary” aircraft. Kiev, meanwhile, was in favor of having 800 tanks, 2,400 armored vehicles, 600 multiple rocket launchers, 74 combat aircraft, and 86 “auxiliary” aircraft.
The sides also exchanged proposals on capping Ukraine’s mortars, anti-tank weapons, and anti-air missile systems, among other equipment.
The negotiations effectively broke down in the spring of 2022 shortly after Ukrainian officials accused Russian troops of killing civilians in several small cities around Kiev. The allegations were made immediately after Russian soldiers had withdrawn from the areas outside the Ukrainian capital in what the Kremlin described at the time as “a goodwill gesture.” Moscow has since repeatedly denied committing atrocities in Ukraine.
Speaking on Saturday, Putin said that Ukraine was responsible for sabotaging the negotiations. “After we pulled our troops away from Kiev – as we had promised to do – the Kiev authorities … had tossed [the draft treaty] into the dustbin of history,” he said. “They abandoned everything.”
“Where are the guarantees that they will not walk away from agreements in the future?” Putin said. “However, even under such circumstances, we have never refused to conduct negotiations.”
The African delegation, which included the presidents of South Africa, Senegal, and Zambia, and the prime minister of Egypt, arrived in Moscow following the meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev on Friday. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa presented a nine-point roadmap to end the hostilities, calling on both sides to de-escalate.
Zelensky, meanwhile, reiterated Kiev’s position that negotiations can commence only after Moscow surrenders Crimea, which voted to join Russia in 2014, and four other regions that did the same following referendums in September 2022. Putin argued on Saturday that the acquisition of territories by Russia was “flawless in terms of international law and the UN Charter.” He added that Moscow had the right to intervene in order to protect the people of Donbass, who opposed the 2014 coup in Kiev.
Ukraine dropped all discussions about a possible neutrality last year and has since formally applied to join NATO. (RT)
Surely you jest. The jew-k’s mighty hero lord johnstein, chief poisoner and high jew whore would never do any such thing. He was probably just there to give advice to jewlensky about how to redirect the people’s lives into slavery and redirect their money into offshore bank accounts. Next you’ll be claiming that the glorious british people didn’t vote for brown boy prime dictator what’s-is-name and that the majestic royals aren’t in fact born directly from the loins of God.
Don’t forget to vote. Diversity is their strength. Divide and conquer. And above all else, don’t ever do anything to fight back.
It did look, for a short while, as if Russia and Ukraine had achieved a peace deal in Istanbul. But ‘the West’ (the US and GB, hectored by the EU/NATO/UN) had other plans: They needed Zelensky to have Ukraine ‘fight to the last Ukrainian’ in the interest of weakening Russia, then leaving it to them to destroy that great country by carving it up into statelets.
And the outcome is that Zelensky has come very close to achieving the ‘fight to the last Ukrainian’ plan: A vast number of Ukrainian men are dead, and a vast number of Ukrainian women and children have fled the country. The country itself is mostly rubble. Only President Putin has expressed deep sorrow for that (at the current SPIEF Forum in St Petersburg). And Zelensky is a multi-billionaire, albeit a very worried one now. He fears the drying up of the vast flow of Western arms and money, and the revenge of ‘his’ people.
Well, the ‘The West’ forced Russia into fighting an existential war against it. It just did not expect Russia to be capable of fighting and winning it. And now the world lives in fear of a nuclear war, for ‘the West’ will not concede defeat.
We all know who is responsible for this devilry, but none dares speak their name.
Its all kabuki theater. Remember, they have to pretend they’re ‘enemies’ to stage their war to exterminate whites..
Russia = ZOG
UK/USA/NATO = ZOG
Ukraine = ZOG
Figure it out.
A neutral Ukraine dont needs tanks, rocket launchers,
combat aircrafts like Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama,
Guatemala, Venezuela, Colombia + many other states .
There can only be peace in Europe after it’s been thoroughly de-ZOGG’ed… particulary that perennial pain-in-the-fkin-ass ZOGUK.
Futhermore, it now looks like THAT will mean teaching Europe a lesson it will never forget… particulary, once again, that perennial pain-in-the-fkin-ass… ZOGUK!
Sounds like Stalin after Molotov and von Ribbentrop signed.
Now my comment has appeared. Yet a day or two ago it wasn’t there. Could be some sort of computer glitch.
