What are Russia's territorial demands from Ukraine in the ongoing conflict?
Russia demands Ukraine withdraw its troops from territories annexed in September 2022, including Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. During a UN Security Council meeting, Russia's UN representative Vasily Nebenzia declared Ukraine has "irrevocably lost" these regions and should cede approximately 30% of these territories, including areas Russia doesn't currently occupy. Beyond territorial concessions, the Kremlin has expanded its demands to include additional territory in eastern and southern Ukraine. Russia also insists Ukraine must become a demilitarized, neutral state, effectively requiring Ukraine to disband its military forces in the future.
