Recognizing Crimea as Russian, vowing not to join NATO and agreeing to neutrality could be concessions Zelensky might make that may be offset by the symbolism of holding onto the Ukrainian capital.
For Zelensky, holding on to Kyiv,"would be presented as something of a victory, because the general consensus before the war was that the Russian campaign would be quick," said Katie Laatikainen, political science professor at Adelphi University .,"it is not clear that the impressive resistance by Zelensky and the Kyivans will be enough to dissuade Putin from wanting something more than Ukraine renouncing membership of NATO to end the conflict.
She said that Putin"will want recognition of the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and recognition of the independence of Donbas and Luhansk, demands that Zelensky has said are not acceptable and which violate the territorial integrity of Ukraine." Michal Baranowski, Warsaw Office Director of the German Marshall Fund, said that the shelling of Lviv in western Ukraine on Friday showed that Moscow had no intention of easing up its campaign regardless of how it was portraying the negotiations.
"The key measure of success for President Zelensky is whether sovereignty and security of Ukraine is preserved and guaranteed. For that to happen, Russia has to first de-escalate," he said."Unfortunately, we see the opposite is happening."
