READ MORE: Vladimir Putin will reject Donald Trump 's proposed peace plan and would only end the conflict in Ukraine if he gives him huge concessions, a hardliner close to the Kremlin has warned.
Malofeyev has responded by presenting a long list of demands which go beyond Putin's publicly-stated conditions for a ceasefire, which include Kyiv ceding four frontline regions to Russia and agreeing to never join NATO. Influential Russian tycoon Konstantin Malofeyev, who is sanctioned by the west, slammed the proposed US peace plan
He added that the talks would not be constructive unless Trump was willing to discuss other global flashpoints with Putin himself and acknowledge that Ukraine is a major concern for the Kremlin.NATO's new chief yesterday revealed he had warned Trump that the US would face a 'dire threat' from China, Iran and North Korea should Ukraine be pushed to sign a deal on Moscow's terms.
He added that Iran is receiving funds from Moscow in return for missiles and drones which is then supporting Hamas and Hezbollah in the Middle East. 'We are convinced that the only real guarantee of security for Ukraine, as well as a deterrent to further Russian aggression against Ukraine and other states, is Ukraine's full membership in NATO,' the foreign ministry in Kyiv said in a statement.
He also added that Russia is open to negotiations but stated that the Kremlin would 'categorically reject' any 'freezing' of the current frontline, demanding that Ukraine relinquish areas of the four Ukrainian regions - Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson - that the Kremlin has illegally annexed without fully occupying.
