그가 염두에 둔 것은 평화가 아니었다

최근 유출된 문건에 따르면 블라디미르 푸틴 러시아 대통령은 우크라이나 전쟁 발발 당시 볼로디미르 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령에게 초기 평화안을 제안했다. 그러나 전문가들은 이 문건들이 푸틴 대통령이 우크라이나에 대해 매우 어두운 계획을 갖고 있었음을 보여준다고 말한다.

 

 

Peace was not what he had in mind

Recently leaked documents indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed an initial peace plan to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the beginning of the war in Ukraine. However, experts say that the documents show that Putin had very dark plans for Ukraine.

 

Filtration

The treaty was leaked by Systema, a part of Radio Free Europe, a U.S. government-funded organization that broadcasts news, information and analysis to countries in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, according to HuffPost.

 

March 7, 2022

Radio Free Europe reports, the agreement was presented by Russian authorities to their Ukrainian counterparts on March 7, 2022, in the town of Belavezha, Belarus. It was then the third round of negotiations between representatives of Moscow and Kyiv, 11 days after Russia launched its invasion of Ukrainian territory.

 

 

“A blueprint for the destruction of Ukraine”

An article on the blog of the American think tank Atlantic Council recalls that Putin has often cited the rejection of the proposal in an attempt to prove that Russia wanted to achieve peace through diplomatic means. However, the article defines the treaty as a “blueprint for the destruction of Ukraine.”

 

A divided and disarmed Ukraine

Peter Dickinson, editor of Ukraine Alert, is the author of the piece. He claims that the conditions proposed by the Kremlin in spring 2022 would have left Ukraine " partitioned, disarmed, internationally isolated, and utterly unable to defend itself against further Russian aggression."

 

Requirements

This is because the treaty imposed very rigid restrictions mainly on Ukraine's military capabilities and the presence of foreign forces in the country, and even called for the cession of separatist territories.

 

Without foreign military support

For example, Ukraine could not allow the entry or deployment “in any form on its territory, including temporarily, of foreign armed forces and formations, including military personnel, and not allow the creation or maintenance in Ukraine of military bases, warehouses, strongholds and other military facilities.”

 

Army reduction

Still on the military issue, according to Huffpost, one of the clauses provided for Ukraine to reduce its army to 50,000 troops, with only 1,500 officers. Currently, according to Statista, Ukraine has about 900,000 active soldiers.

In terms of territory, Ukraine should recognise the self-proclaimed People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, including areas under Ukrainian control. In addition, the country should bear the costs of rebuilding infrastructure in Donbas that has been damaged since 2014.

The treaty also sought to end sanctions against Russian companies and individuals imposed by Ukraine and its allies since 2014. Finally, it also demanded that Russian be established as an official language in Ukraine, that the property of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church be returned to the Moscow Patriarchate, and that the country again allow the use of Soviet and communist symbols related to victory in World War II.
