In what would have amounted to a forced disarming of the country enabling Russia to more easily destroy the country, the terms of Russia's 2022 proposed "peace agreement" have been made public for the first time, according to documents released by Radio Liberty.

Terms of the proposed agreement were as follows:

• Reduce Ukraine's army to 50,000 troops—five times less than before 2022.
• Refrain from deploying weapons with a range greater than 250 km.
• Recognize the independence of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk “republics” within Ukraine’s administrative borders.
• Cover the costs of restoring the infrastructure in Donbas destroyed by Russia since 2014.
• Lifting of all sanctions on Russia—both Ukrainian and international.
• Grant the Russian language official status in Ukraine.
• Legalize symbols of the USSR and other communist regalia.

The draft was dated March 7, 2022. These negotiations took place at the residence of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, near the Polish-Belarusian border.
