According to him, negotiations should lead to capitulation and liberation of the south-eastern lands under the control of Kyiv, with parallel denazification, demilitarization and consolidation of Russian as the state language.

“In the future, in the regions - Kharkov, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev and so on to Lviv and Transcarpathian regions - free referendums should be held, in which people will express their vision of the future: which state they should be part of,” RIA Novosti quotes Rogov as saying.

Earlier, American businessman Elon Musk said that Ukraine would lose access to the Black Sea if it did not start negotiations.
