Briefly about the main messages in the Russia-Ukraine talks and NATO assistance


Negotiations usually seek a compromise. This includes concessions from both sides. But in our case, we hear nothing but concessions exclusively from Ukraine. That is, Ukraine must denazify, demilitarise, recognize Crimea and Donbas, change the Constitution and become neutral. And what does Russia owe us?

Ukraine has also paid with the lives of thousands of its citizens. Does anyone have the right to demand any other concessions from Ukraine?
