The head of Russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov, was made as a condition for any negotiation with kyiv, this Monday, April 28, the recognition of the international community of the Russian annexation of Crimea and other Ukrainian regions, after the Kremlin has repeated to be ready for the discussions “without previous condition.”

Low hand on the territories coveted by Russia
The Kremlin Judges teacher who plays in his favor, with a Ukrainian army in difficulty in the front and will displayed by US President Donald Trump, whose country was until then the main support for kyiv, to put an end as fast as hostilities, even if it means accepting an unfavorable agreement for the Ukrainians.
In this context, and despite its unacceptable requests for kyiv and its western allies, Vladimir Putin is almost daily for peace discussions. On Monday, his spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, repeated Moscow’s “will” to talk with Kyiv.
“The will of the Russian party has already been repeatedly stated, stated by the President (Putin), to begin a process of negotiations with Ukraine without previous requirements to achieve a peaceful result,” he said, cited by the press agency of the State of Tass.
This comment occurs two days after Donald Trump had doubts about the real intentions of Vladimir Putin: “Maybe (that) does not want to stop the war and accompany me,” he wrote on his social social network.
The Kremlin speech contrasts especially with the daily rhetoric of Vladimir Putin, supported by Sergei Lavrov on Monday, according to which only the defeat of Ukraine will be acceptable for Moscow.
