Some possible movement in peace negotiations according to FT Ukraine and Russia explore neutrality plan in peace talks | Financial Times (ft.com)
'The biggest sticking point remains Russia’s demand that Ukraine recognise its 2014 annexation of Crimea and the independence of two separatist statelets in the eastern Donbas border region.'
At this point in time I don't think Ukraine will buy this, too much has been lost and too many killed.

The Russians don't seem to making any compromises, the Ukraine most of them. I suspect the war will have to continue for longer before both sides are willing to compromise.
I have to wonder what sort of security guarantees the Ukraine can ask for and how they would be implemented. They can't just trust Mr Putin, he has proven to be utterly duplicitous.
