The Russian leadership has repeatedly mentioned this. Second, the negotiation process needs to take into account Russia’s security interests. Russia will not participate in events that promote what is called Zelensky’s ‘peace formula,’ or similar plans that are seen as ultimatums to Moscow ,” Garmonin said.
According to the Russian ambassador to Switzerland, thirdly, the peace process needs to be based on the current reality on the ground. Any Western attempt to prolong the conflict will only cause Kyiv to lose its initial negotiating position, as it continues to lose ground on the front lines.
