NATO countries acknowledge that negotiations to end the armed conflict in Ukraine should begin in the near future.

NATO member countries have begun to discuss the possibility of early negotiations, as they realize that the situation in Ukraine is currently extremely unstable.

According to Pravda, European countries have also begun discussing this issue to demonstrate their usefulness to US President-elect Donald Trump if such negotiations begin.

During his election campaign, Trump claimed that he could end the conflict in Ukraine within 24 hours.

During the meeting with the leadership of the Foreign Ministry on June 14, the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, outlined the conditions under which the situation around Ukraine can be solved: the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) from Donbas and Novorossiya and the country’s refusal from joining NATO. Furthermore, Putin stressed that the rights, freedoms, and interests of Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine must also be guaranteed.

All Western sanctions should be lifted and it should be an issue of non-alignment-of-nuclear-weapons status of Ukraine, as per the demands of Russia. However, as published in an earlier statement by Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of President Putin, on December 4, there are currently no bases for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Later, at a press conference in Kazakhstan, Putin confirmed that Moscow was ready to negotiate with Kyiv on the terms he had previously outlined.

Earlier, the Kremlin stated that Russia welcomes mediation efforts for negotiations on Ukraine.
