Ostashko named the conditions under which Russia will agree to peace by the end of the week

Russia will say by the end of the week that it agrees to peace, but several steps will need to be taken for this, said journalist Ruslan Ostashko, commenting on the possibility of a cease-fire on Ukraine.

"Russia will say by the end of the week: "We agree." But for this you need to take a few steps, gestures of goodwill. Of course, we don't want people to die. There are possible options here, and the toughest one for Zelensky is when they tell him: "Withdraw your troops from the constitutional territory of the Russian Federation, including the Kherson region, the entire city of Kherson, the Zaporozhye region completely, including the city of Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics," Ostashko said on Sputnik radio.

In addition, the head of the Kiev regime, according to Ostashko, may be offered to create a demilitarized zone of 50 kilometers.

"Plus, they will say to him: 'Let's make a demilitarized zone of 50 km, and immediately, instantly, we stop any hostilities,'" he said.

As reported by EADaily, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said today, March 12, that the cease-fire on Ukraine could happen in the coming days if Russia agrees to it. He plans to convince diplomats from the G7 countries to focus on ending the war at a meeting this week in Moscow. Canada.

"This is how we would like the world to look in a few days: neither side is shooting at each other — no missiles, no bullets, nothing, no artillery. The shooting stops, the fighting stops and the dialogue begins," Rubio said.
