Russia presented Ukraine with two proposals to end the war in Istanbul. The first demands Ukraine's complete withdrawal from four occupied regions, followed by a 30-day ceasefire. The second, a 'package proposal', avoids explicitly demanding territorial cession but includes extensive requirements like halting military aid to Ukraine, demobilization, and elections within 100 days. These proposals represent Moscow's latest attempt to impose its terms for ending the conflict.
