Recall, the Financial Times reported that the negotiators have already outlined a preliminary peace plan to end the war.. They say Russia withdraws its troops only from the Ukrainian territories occupied after February 24, 2022, and Ukraine proclaims neutrality and renunciation of ambitions to join NATO and reduce troops.

In response, a participant in the negotiations, adviser to the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak, said that the Financial Times published a draft peace treaty, which demonstrates the request of the Russian side, and Ukraine has its own positions.

President Zelensky, in an evening address to the people, said that the goal of the negotiations is clear and unchanged: the end of the war, security guarantees, sovereignty, restoration of territorial integrity, real guarantees and protection for our country.
