According to Censor.NET, this was posted in the Kremlin-controlled publication "RIA Novosti".
The Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation stated that Zelensky, "if he thinks about the citizens of Ukraine," must comply with all the requirements of Russia, including the immediate adoption of the following decisions:
"First. Withdraw troops from the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.
Others. To fix on a contractual basis the obligations on the recognition of Crimea and the non-aligned status of Ukraine, as well as on the denazification and demilitarization of the country," Volodin said.
