After Russian President Vladimir Putin brandished weapons of mass destruction, his Ukrainian counterpart announced Volodymyr Zelensky About 5 non-negotiable conditions for peace.
In a speech to the General Assembly, Zelensky called for the imposition of fair punishment once morest Russia, as he put it.
He also appealed to the United Nations to deny Moscow the right to veto, and to set up a special court on Russia and a compensation fund.
He stressed that Kyiv’s most important conditions for peace lie in punishing Russia and restoring Ukraine’s security, sovereignty and security guarantees.

These developments came at a time when Putin stressed that he was not joking regarding the possibility of using all weapons, including nuclear, if his country was exposed to any threat to its territory or its security.
In a recorded speech broadcast on state television earlier Wednesday, the Russian president confirmed that his forces are facing the West in Ukraine, and that he is continuing his military operation.
He also announced the partial mobilization of the army in order to supplement the fighting forces in the Donbass.
However, his comments provoked reprehensible international reactions, as the European Commission considered these statements reckless and dangerous.
Washington also condemned it, stressing that it takes it seriously.
Achieving goals first
With the conflict between Moscow and Kiev entering its seventh month, the Kremlin master confirmed a few days ago that his country is in no hurry to end the military operation it launched on the lands of its western neighbor on February 14, and that it will not stop it before achieving its goals.
While Turkey, as a third party, continues its attempts to bring the views closer or at least bring together the presidents of the two countries in order to reach a settlement similar to the grain agreement to which Turkey contributed last July, and which resulted in the re-export of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea, which is controlled by Russian ships.
However, bringing together Putin and Zelensky at one table is very unlikely at the present time, at least what the two sides have repeatedly confirmed in the past, especially since the negotiations that were previously held between the two sides have been suspended since last spring following 4 rounds of talks between Ukrainian and Russian officials.
