Czech FM: Russia’s "peace memorandum" echos Nazi demands of 1938

He shared this on his X page.

Lipavský stressed that Russia’s latest proposals are just another step in a series of so-called “peace plans” that shouldn’t be taken seriously.

“It (the memorandum) is just like all the previous ones, let’s not be fooled,” he stressed.

According to him, Russia seeks Ukraine’s capitulation, expecting the West to accept it. He drew a parallel between Moscow’s ambitions and the expansionist goals of the Nazi regime before World War II.

“Ukraine must submit, the West must accept. In 1938, this is what the Nazis wanted; since 2014, this is what the Kremlin wants. Putin offers nothing new, Russia cannot be trusted,” he concluded.

• On Monday, June 2, following the meeting in Istanbul, Russia published a memorandum on ending the war. Among the main demands are the lifting of sanctions, Ukraine’s non-nuclear status, and Ukraine’s renunciation of NATO membership.
