Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Ukrainian president's office, put forward "counter" conditions for Russia on Twitter. Among them, the Ukrainian official called the withdrawal of Russian troops, "recognition of the sovereignty of post-Soviet countries", "extradition of war criminals" and the creation of a "buffer zone" on the territory of Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference called the "peace initiatives" put forward by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky absurd.
