Moscow's Main Demand on Ukraine Will Remain the Same: CNN

Ukraine will not legally abandon its goal of joining NATO, but practically, this process may stall due to possible agreements between allies and Russia. It has been noted that among the initial proposals was an official renouncement of Kyiv's application to join the alliance, but now a more nuanced approach is being considered—one that entails no legal obligations but comes with de facto limitations.

Simultaneously, one of Moscow's most pressing demands is Ukraine's renunciation of the Donbas region. A CNN source emphasizes that “very sensitive” measures are being considered, which, according to the negotiators, should not harm Ukraine's security. Details are not being disclosed, as revealing the negotiation process could impact the potential outcome.
