Bloomberg cited unnamed "people with knowledge of Kremlin thinking" to report that Russia will only demand that Ukraine restore its constitutional neutrality, "drastically cut back military ties with the NATO alliance", limit its army, and freeze the front lines, albeit with some territorial swaps. Also:
"The Kremlin's position is that while individual NATO members may continue to send arms to Ukraine under bilateral security agreements, any such weapons should not be used against Russia or to recapture territory."To be sure, Bloomberg might have either invented their sources or they're uninformed of what the Kremlin thinks, but there's also the possibility that they're accurately reflecting what it plans to ask for during peace talks. Hopefully Russia's demands of Ukraine are more than what Bloomberg just reported, however, because the aforesaid requests would be settling for much less than it might otherwise be able to achieve as suggested by some of the proposals made at the end of this analysis here.
Comment: War is an inevitable exercise in 'diminishing' returns. No matter the outcome or winner, 'less' is the mutual result.
