Putin's Offer to Kiev for Negotiations: "We Must Seize It as Soon as Possible" to Avoid Escalation
The signal sent by Moscow is very positive, president of the Debout la France party Nicolas Dupont-Aignan told Sputnik Africa.
"The Ukrainian issue must be resolved within the framework of a global agreement, under which Ukraine will ultimately become a neutral, demilitarized country — a kind of buffer between Russia and NATO," the official explained.
Donald Trump has fortunately indicated that Kiev should not join the Atlantic alliance, recalled Dupont-Aignan, who believes that a peaceful agreement "is quite possible if there is goodwill on both sides."
According to him, other measures could also contribute to de-escalation, such as:
⦁ free elections in Ukraine;
⦁ lifting of sanctions against Russia.
