"Putin's Unyielding Demands: War in Ukraine to Persist Until Agreement Reached"

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia will continue its war against Ukraine until it achieves "denazification," "demilitarization," and Ukraine's neutrality. Putin emphasized that these demands are non-negotiable and that the conflict will only end if his goals are met or if Ukraine accepts a deal that fulfills them. He warned that if Ukraine refuses to reach an agreement, including the demilitarization of Ukraine, Russia may resort to military measures. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has insisted that negotiations cannot take place until all Russian-occupied territory is returned to Ukraine's control. Putin blamed Western influence and Ukraine's desire to join NATO for the war, urging the United States to seek a peaceful resolution instead of relying on sanctions and military intervention.
