Putin has put forward new demands for peace: why negotiations with him are impossible

Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has refused to end the war in Ukraine, putting forward new demands. He pointed to the impossibility of a peaceful agreement with the Ukrainian authorities and requires presidential elections in the country, as well as organizing a referendum to confirm the agreements.

Putin stated that 'he sees no point' in negotiations with Ukraine and demands the lifting of martial law and the holding of elections and a referendum.

Analysts point out that Putin's refusal to negotiate and his new demands indicate a lack of interest in reaching peaceful agreements with Ukraine. This may lead to the prolongation of the conflict and accusations against Ukraine of breaking diplomatic relations.

Should Putin refuse dialogue in the future, the situation in eastern Ukraine may worsen, and the conflict between the two countries may take on new dimensions.
