Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Ukraine would need to accept a neutral, non-nuclear status, abandon what he described as its nationalist policy course, and recognize four regions annexed by Russia as Russian territory in order to reach what he called a long-lasting political settlement.
Medvedev's remarks, reported by Russian state news agency TASS, set out conditions Moscow has previously raised in connection with ending the war in Ukraine, though Kyiv and its Western allies have rejected the annexation of Ukrainian territory as illegal.
The TASS report also noted that Medvedev commented on the fallout from a recent attack on Iran as part of the same remarks, though further specifics of those comments were not detailed in the available dispatch.
Ukrainian officials have consistently said that any settlement requiring recognition of Russian claims over annexed Ukrainian territory would be unacceptable.
