Translation into Russian:

Framework for negotiations between Ukraine and Russia

I. Key principles of the agreement and the negotiation process
• A complete and unconditional ceasefire in the air, on land and at sea as a necessary precondition for peace negotiations.
• Confidence-building measures – resolution of humanitarian issues: unconditional return of all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children. Exchange of all prisoners of war (“all for all”). Release by Russia of all civilian hostages.
• Non-repetition of aggression : The aim of the negotiations is to restore a permanent basis for lasting peace and security and to ensure that aggression does not recur.
• Security guarantees and involvement of the international community : Ukraine must receive reliable security guarantees. The parties will invite the international community to participate in the negotiations and provide guarantees for the implementation of the agreements.
• Sovereignty : Ukraine does not undertake any obligation to be neutral. It can become part of the Euro-Atlantic community and move towards EU membership. Ukraine’s membership in NATO depends on consensus within the Alliance. No restrictions can be established on the number, deployment and other parameters of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, as well as the deployment of troops of foreign friendly states on the territory of Ukraine.
• Territorial issues : Russia’s territorial gains since February 2014 are not recognized by the international community. The line of contact is the starting point for negotiations. Territorial issues are discussed only after a complete and unconditional ceasefire.
• Sanctions : Some sanctions may be lifted from Russia, but in stages and only gradually, with a mechanism for reimposing sanctions if necessary (“snapback”). Frozen Russian sovereign assets are used to rebuild Ukraine or remain frozen until reparations are paid.
• Agreement Implementation : A clear, balanced and achievable roadmap for implementing and enforcing the agreements.
• An agreement on the unconditional return by the Russian Federation of all deported and displaced Ukrainian children, as well as the release by Russia of all civilian prisoners. These measures should apply to all categories of persons, starting in February 2014.
