Russia ready to agree to Ukraine joining the EU if it maintains its military neutrality

The Ukrainians are crossing their fingers so that an agreement comes out of

that does not blow up their country, but ends with an invasion that could reduce it to ashes under Russian bombs.

Meanwhile,

is looking for a graceful solution to a conflict in which it has already lost more soldiers and material than in all its last wars combined and which has not had substantial gains in land, in addition to international isolation and the bankruptcy of its economy.

Mired in the battlefield, a diplomatic offensive is now expected that will not have much better chances for peace before

becomes a labyrinth with no way out.

The conditions of this dialogue have improved just by putting a more or less neutral host to direct the negotiations, because the previous ones held in

did not have that figure and the one who set the table was an interested party in the conflict.

Russian tycoon

Some sources say that he is one of the most interested in reaching some kind of agreement to recover his enormous fortune, like other oligarchs sanctioned by the

For its part, Ukraine insists on security guarantees in exchange for giving up

.

On some points there may be agreement and on others, the positions are very far apart.

The Ukrainians, after the episode of the attempted poisoning of the oligarch

and several members of the Ukrainian delegation a few weeks ago, are very skeptical about the real intentions of the Russian leader.

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister,

, advised the delegation of his country that participates in the negotiations with

"not to eat or touch anything", given the suspicions of poisoning that arose in previous meetings.

In addition, the

No one in

trusts

and they want everything in writing.

President

Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged negotiators to act "responsibly".

"We believe that there are no losers in a just and equitable peace. The continuation of the war is not to the liking of any of the parties and an immediate ceasefire would benefit all," the Turkish president stressed in his televised address.

Security Guarantees

David Arajamia

, one of

's negotiators , has assured

that this point in the negotiations is very close to an agreement.

"Security guarantees and the neutral and non-nuclear status of our state. We are ready to accept this. This is the most important point," the Ukrainian president told Russian media this weekend.

What

wants is that in five years

These security guarantees should also include respecting

immediate ceasefire

It is the most important request demanded by the Ukrainian side, which sees how every day

destroys more cities and valuable structures in its country, such as hospitals, bridges, roads or ports.

Stop the bloodletting and then agree on peace conditions and not the other way around.

In fact, during the negotiations in

, the anti-aircraft alarms have not stopped being felt throughout the country and the bombs have continued to fall.

Denazification

One of Vladimir Putin's pretexts for launching this aggressive war is no longer on the table.

Especially since we are actually talking about a government elected by 74% of Ukrainians whose president is of Jewish descent.

's media terminals

clamor for the presence of some small groups of volunteers within its army, such as the Azov battalion, to justify the bombings, but the reality is that not all of its members are from the extreme right, nor does it have a size to represent more of 1% within the total of the Ukrainian army.

now removes that goal of "denazification" from the negotiating table.

Neutrality

Vladimir Putin

had been warning of his red lines for months through ultimatums to

, where he warned of the "expansion of

to the east" and that

's movements to request membership of the Atlantic club would be considered a "hostile movement" towards

, which would prefer a "cushion state", as they say, to avoid having its "enemies 400 kilometers from

".

Volodomir Zelensky has already stated several times in recent days that "

will not be a member of

In other words, this is one less obstacle to achieve peace.

territorial distribution

Unlike the two previous points, in which there may be a quick agreement, it is at this point that there is more friction.

We still don't know what

after the huge casualties suffered, he must include territories he didn't have before this invasion, like

and

.

The effort of his troops to take

may reveal that he wants to keep a corridor linking the peninsula with the

, but at the moment it is speculation, because he continues to rearm his units stationed in the towns surrounding

and bombing areas inside the country.

Zelensky

assures that he will not give up any region because one of his requests, which has not yet been dropped, is total sovereignty over all Ukrainian territory.

The Russians, on the contrary, ask that

officiality of the Russian language

Another issue on which

does not seem to resist.

Russian is, de facto, the mother tongue for millions of Ukrainians who live not only in the

peninsula

, such as

, which have received the occupying Russian troops very badly.

In

the mother tongue is also Russian, but its inhabitants have had to flee because Putin's carpet bombings have left the city destroyed.

Defining the Russian language as "co-official" with the Ukrainian is not a problem for the

government .

Continuity of the Zelensky government

Overthrowing the Ukrainian president and installing a puppet like

The Ukrainian leader had to endure up to three assassination attempts.

Four weeks later, the

Another stumbling block saved by the force of events and the fierce Ukrainian resistance.

If peace is signed, it seems that
