Why did the peace talks fail in April 2022?: By April 2022, peace talks collapsed as Ukraine rejected Russia's terms, having successfully repelled the initial Russian offensive aimed at seizing Kyiv. The revelation of atrocities committed by Russian forces in Bucha further strained relations.
What were the main points of Russia's March 7, 2022, proposal to Ukraine?: Russia's March 7, 2022, proposal to Ukraine, revealed in newly obtained documents, was essentially a demand for surrender, requiring Ukraine to cede Crimea and Donbas, demilitarize, and remain neutral, effectively becoming a Russian puppet state.
What is the current state of the war and the positions of Russia and Ukraine?: Despite heavy casualties, around 1200 per day according to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the war continues. Russia claims to have annexed territories it does not fully control, while Ukraine insists on complete Russian withdrawal and eventual NATO membership.
What is the current military situation and the level of Western support for Ukraine?: While Ukraine has significantly expanded its military, it remains smaller than Russia's, which is bolstered by potential North Korean troop deployment. The West continues to support Ukraine militarily but stops short of sending ground troops.
What were the key terms of the Russian proposal regarding Ukraine's territorial integrity, military, and alliances?: The proposed terms included Ukraine relinquishing Crimea and the Donbas region, limiting its military to 50,000 soldiers, and forswearing NATO membership. These demands were completely unacceptable to Ukraine, leading to the failure of negotiations.
