Russia is ready to consider "serious" peace talk proposals to settle the conflict in Ukraine, Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
Speaking at a press briefing this afternoon, Ms Zakharova said the talks must be based on existing "realities" and Moscow's security concerns.
She said part of the proposal would include Ukraine pledging to remain militarily neutral in future.
Russia proposing the possibility of peace talks is nothing new.
Despite suggesting it is open for discussion, it always seems to blame Ukraine or the West for the breakdown of negotiations.
so they want to keep everything and have Ukraine demilitarised and helpless .....Nyet .....you don't give up something for nothing .
