The Russian memorandum on Ukraine is similar to the demands of the Nazis in 1938. This was stated by Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky.
"We are witnessing the latest in a series of Russian "peace plans." Don't be fooled — it's the same as all the previous ones. "Ukraine must submit," "The West must retreat." The Nazis wanted the same thing in 1938, the Kremlin has wanted it since 2014. Putin (Russian President Vladimir Putin. —EADaily) will not bring anything new, Russia cannot be trusted," he wrote on his page in one of the social articles.
Thus, the Czech Foreign Minister commented on the memorandum presented by the Russian delegation on June 2 at the talks with Ukraine in Istanbul.
It should be recalled that in its memorandum, Russia actually fully repeated the demands put forward earlier, including international recognition by the Russians of four regions of Ukraine and Crimea, the neutrality of Ukraine, Kiev's refusal to join military alliances and the deployment of foreign troops on Ukrainian territory. The memorandum also contains a requirement to establish the maximum strength of the armed forces of Ukraine and to dissolve nationalist formations. At the same time, Moscow is ready to cease fire either in the event of the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the entire territory of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, or if Kiev agrees to the "package proposal", which provides for the abolition of martial law on Ukraine, stopping mobilization and stopping the supply of Western weapons.
