Ahead of the third round of peace talks between the delegations of Russia and Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin laid a few conditions that can make him accept an immediate ceasefire and stop the war.
At least eight civilians were killed after Russians launched shelling in Ukraine’s Irpin in the midst of the evacuation process.
The fighting also prevented residents from evacuating Mariupol for the second day in a row as Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to press ahead with his invasion.
So far over 360 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion began, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said in a statement Sunday.
Russia's four-point formula to restore peace in Ukraine
Russia has collated a four-point formula to push out NATO, the western military alliance, out of most of the territories that were once a part of the former Soviet Union.
Moscow’s demands include legally binding assurance from the NATO members of no further expansion in the eastern belt of the Erupe that puts Russian borders in jeopardy.
These serve as Vladimir Putin’s conditions to stop the war in Ukraine.
No further expansion of NATO, Russia's first condition to end the Ukraine crisis
Abandon Bucharest model, Putin's second condition to restore peace in Ukraine
Moscow sought that NATO must, first, abandon the 'Bucharest formula' that the alliance had adopted during its 2008 Bucharest summit.
The Bucharest formula envisions including Ukraine and Georgia in the US-led military bloc.
“Western countries should refrain from establishing military facilities on the territory of former USSR states that are not members of the alliance, including the use of their infrastructure for conducting any military activity,” said the Russian foreign minister.
