Responding to the peace proposal which President Vladimir Putin put forward to the Kiev government today, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected it immediately, labeling it as typical of the types of ultimata that Adolf Hitler used to make. In comments to Italy’s TV channel TG24, reported by the Visit Ukraine Today website Zelenskyy claimed that Putin’s proposal is “a revival of Nazism … Russian Nazism. He wants us to give up our occupied territories, but he also wants our unoccupied territories. He is talking about the regions of our countries and doesn’t intend to stop.”
Zelenskyy’s special adviser Mykhailo Podolyak responded to Putin’s proposal, in a posting to X in which he said that Putin had offered “no real peace proposal,” and “no means to end the war,” RT reported him saying.. Putin’s offer basically means that Kiev would have to give up its territories and its sovereignty and leave itself unprotected by not joining NATO, Podolyak charged, calling Putin’s plan a “sham” and “highly offensive to international law,” and “speaks absolutely eloquently about the incapacity of the Russian leadership to adequately assess reality.”
