What are Russia's demands in potential Ukraine ceasefire negotiations?

Russia's demands in potential ceasefire negotiations include several concerning conditions that Ukrainian officials view as undermining sovereignty. Moscow is ruling out any European peacekeeping force on Ukrainian soil, seeking to claim more Ukrainian territory, and demanding new elections in Ukraine with the apparent goal of installing a pro-Russian puppet government in Kyiv. Additionally, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has indicated that 'concessions must be made by all sides' while being vague about specific terms. These demands reflect Russia's continuing efforts to weaken Ukrainian independence through diplomatic means.
