Russia Presents List of Demands for US Talks on Ukraine Peace Deal

Moscow Outlines Conditions for Negotiations; Ceasefire Prospects Uncertain

March 13, 2025: Russia has reportedly submitted a list of demands to the United States in a bid to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war and reset diplomatic ties between Moscow and Washington. While the specifics of these demands remain unclear, sources indicate they align with Russia’s previous conditions, including blocking Ukraine’s NATO membership and recognizing Russian claims over Crimea and four Ukrainian provinces.

Key Developments:

🔹 Russia’s Demands: The Kremlin’s list includes restrictions on NATO expansion, a ban on foreign military presence in Ukraine, and Western recognition of Russia’s territorial claims.
🔹 Ceasefire Talks: US President Donald Trump is reportedly awaiting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s response on a proposed 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky has already agreed to.
🔹 US-Russia Negotiations: Washington and Moscow have engaged in both in-person and virtual discussions over the past three weeks, but no formal agreement has been reached.
🔹 Divided US Approach: Trump’s administration appears split, with some officials advocating for a new framework while others consider reviving the 2022 Istanbul peace talks, which previously failed.
🔹 Western Concerns: Analysts warn that Russia’s unchanged demands indicate a lack of genuine interest in peace, with concerns that Moscow may use negotiations to divide the West and strengthen its position.

Background & Analysis

📌 Russia’s Previous Demands: Similar terms were discussed before the 2022 invasion but were rejected by Ukraine and NATO.
📌 Geopolitical Stakes: European leaders remain wary that Trump’s approach could undermine Western alliances, with some fearing US abandonment of NATO commitments.
📌 Potential Outcomes: If accepted, Russia’s demands would reshape European security, possibly giving Moscow greater influence over Eastern Europe.

🔹 Will the US and its allies concede to Russia’s conditions, or is this another failed attempt at peace talks?
