Under a draft plan of a deal that was eventually abandoned, Ukraine would have accepted permanent neutrality in exchange for security guarantees from the five permanent members of the @UN Security Council:
3) Britain, China, France, Russia and the U.S., as well as other countries including Germany, Poland and Turkey.
Ukraine would also have agreed not to seek nuclear weapons and to drop its ambitions to join @NATO, as well as reduce the size of armed forces to just 50,000 troops

It would also have had to recognise Russian rule in its eastern Donbas region. Analysts in Kyiv said the deal was equivalent to Ukraine’s capitulation.

Western officials were also wary about being locked into an agreement to fight Russia, if the Kremlin violated the agreement, @Reuters reported.
6).
Since then, Russia has said there can be no peace unless Ukraine surrenders four regions in its east and south that it claims as its own land, a demand that Kyiv has rejected.”

Dictator of the Russian Federation „Vladimir Pootin called for Russia and Ukraine to resume bilateral negotiations based on the early 2022 Istanbul protocols that include Russian demands amounting to full Ukrainian surrender.
@RonFilipkowski 2).
Any agreement based on those protocols would be a capitulation document. Pootin spoke to media organizations on the night of May 10 to 11, following the joint US-Ukrainian-European proposal for a general ceasefire at least 30 days long beginning on May 12.
@RonFilipkowski 3).
Pootin did not agree to the joint US-Ukrainian-European proposal and instead proposed that Russia and Ukraine »resume« the direct negotiations that he claimed »[Ukraine] interrupted« in 2022 on May 15.”
