Agreement on neutrality of Ukraine: which document and why Putin showed

Putin showed a treaty that Ukraine allegedly made concessions at a meeting with African presidents. Political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko proves that this document is only a Russian plan A was there a "contract"? Russian President Vladimir Putin, in negotiations with the leaders of African countries on June 17, demonstrated a document called him a "Treaty of Neutrality of Ukraine".

According to him, the agreement was prepared and parished at the negotiations of Moscow and Kiev in Istanbul at the beginning of the war in 2022. Putin argued that he showed eighteen articles in the document he showed, and he was parished with a representative of Kiev. The President of Russia also added that the treaty has annexes. "They also apply to the armed forces, concern other things.

Everything is spelled out - to units of military equipment and to personnel," - quotes the words of the Russian leader of RBC. ru. And was the contract itself? In the video where Putin showed this document, you can consider some details in the text. And the journalists have already determined that the date on the document is 13 or April 15, 2022 (the clarity of the image does not make it more accurate). You can also read that the project is presented to the President of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, Putin did not show signature on an alleged parish document. So there are many questions to the text that Putin showed. It is important to mention the timeline of the negotiation process during that period. On March 29, 2022, in negotiations in Istanbul, Ukraine presented its proposals for a peace treaty with Russia. The content of these proposals was presented publicly and well known.

None of the points of Ukrainian proposals had the consent of the Russian Federation - the Russian delegation only approved the project to consideration. Moreover, at that time, there was no project: the Ukrainian delegation gave the Russians only the concept, that is, the ideas that still needed to be agreed, supplement with counter -ideas from the Russian Federation, and on their basis to create a mutual legal document. And then the crimes of the Russians in Bucha became known.

And the attitude of President Zelensky to negotiate with Russia became sharply negative, although the Ukrainian side did not leave the negotiation process. On April 7, 2022, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukraine had introduced a new project of an agreement with Russia the day before, which is different from a project published at the end of March after negotiations in Istanbul.

The new proposals of the Ukrainian side in the Kremlin and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation have made claims. On April 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that negotiations with Ukraine had re -arrived in a dead end. At the same time, Putin added that on April 11, he was "told that the Ukrainian side had changed something in a position on negotiations", but he did not know the details yet.

By the way, on April 12 it became known about the detention in Kiev Viktor Medvedchuk. On April 14, it became known that the Ukrainian blow was moved by the cruiser "Moscow". On April 20, the Kremlin stated that they had transferred to Ukraine the "Document" within peace talks. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not confirm that Ukraine received a document project from Russia in the course of negotiations on the end of the war.

He told reporters in Kiev after meeting with the President of European Council Charles Michel. At that time, peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were only online. And as a result, they went into a dead end and stopped. Further negotiations went only on specific issues - grain agreement, exchange of prisoners. Thus, the known and public recorded chronology of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine also refutes Putin's statements.

None of the officials either in Russia nor in Ukraine stated that there were any peace treaties between the two countries. Moreover, then stated (in particular Putin and Laurel) the opposite. So, we can conclude that Putin is lied to once again and deals with shuler manipulations. He showed the Russian project of a peace treaty, which, judging by the chronology of the negotiation process, was prepared by Russia in mid -April, and issued it for a parish agreement.
