Western intelligence agencies revealed Putin's position in negotiations over Ukraine.

The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, will not change his hardline stance on Ukraine during peace negotiations. He sets unacceptable demands that complicate US President Donald Trump's efforts to find a real peace settlement. If his demands are not met, Putin is ready to continue the armed conflict.

This position of the Kremlin contradicts Trump's statements about Putin as a party seeking peace. There is also a danger that the President of Ukraine will be accused of rejecting an agreement under such conditions. This could lead to a deeper rift in NATO and force European countries to take greater responsibility for their security.

Russia also insists on the 'demilitarization' of Ukraine, which could become yet another obstacle for the Ukrainian army, which is a crucial component of national security.
