On March 11, during negotiations between Ukrainian and US delegations held in Saudi Arabia, Kyiv's "red lines" were announced, which cannot be crossed during negotiations to resolve the conflict with Russia.
According to a source from the European newspaper, one of these issues is Ukraine's accession to NATO.
It is noted that Kyiv has no intention of abandoning this idea and its implementation.
Additionally, the Ukrainian delegation raised the issue of Ukraine's membership in the European Union and Kyiv also refused to discuss the reduction of the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces in the country.
“We discussed the NATO issue and clearly stated that it cannot be removed from the agenda for Ukraine. (...) There are red lines for Ukraine,” said the source from the publication.
Ukrainian OP leader Andrey Yermak also spoke on his Telegram channel about resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
According to him, Kyiv has no intention of "freezing" the conflict according to the scenario of the Minsk agreements.
“We will not go for a frozen conflict, our partners in the US are also against such a scenario. We oppose Minsk-3, Europe will join the peace process,” Yermak wrote.
Putin had allowed a 30-day truce in Ukraine on the condition that it would lead to long-term peace.
Furthermore, Putin clarified that there are still a number of issues that require explanation while strictly adhering to the terms. Among them, the front section in the Kursk region occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces remains unclear according to the Russian leader's words.
Putin also demanded that Ukraine be prohibited from conducting mobilization in the country and that arms deliveries be halted during this period.
However, the main issue is to establish control over the actions of Ukrainian officials and to adhere to the ceasefire regime along the entire front line stretching 2000 kilometers.
