Russia, the US, Britain, China, and France are listed as guarantors.<\/p>\n<p>The addendum to the draft, also shown by Putin, outlines both Russian and Ukrainian proposals regarding the size of Ukraine\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow suggested that Ukraine should be allowed to have 342 tanks, 1,029 armored vehicles, 96 multiple rocket launchers, 50 combat aircraft, and 52 \u201cauxiliary\u201d aircraft. Kiev, meanwhile, was in favor of having 800 tanks, 2,400 armored vehicles, 600 multiple rocket launchers, 74 combat aircraft, and 86 \u201cauxiliary\u201d aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>The sides also exchanged proposals on capping Ukraine\u2019s mortars, anti-tank weapons, and anti-air missile systems, among other equipment.<\/p>\n<p>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 The allegations were made immediately after Russian soldiers had withdrawn from the areas outside the Ukrainian capital in what the Kremlin described at the time as \u201ca goodwill gesture.\u201d Moscow has since repeatedly denied committing atrocities in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Saturday, Putin said that Ukraine was responsible for sabotaging the negotiations. \u201cAfter we pulled our troops away from Kiev \u2013 as we had promised to do \u2013 the Kiev authorities \u2026 had tossed [the draft treaty] into the dustbin of history,\u201d he said. \u201cThey abandoned everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are the guarantees that they will not walk away from agreements in the future?\u201d Putin said. \u201cHowever, even under such circumstances, we have never refused to conduct negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Zelensky, meanwhile, reiterated Kiev\u2019s 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 \u201cflawless in terms of international law and the UN Charter.\u201d He added that Moscow had the right to intervene in order to protect the people of Donbass, who opposed the 2014 coup in Kiev.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine dropped all discussions about a possible neutrality last year and has since formally applied to join NATO.
