Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, has said that Moscow insists on addressing what it calls the "root causes" of the war before any peace agreement is concluded, including Ukraine's potential NATO membership.

Details: Nebenzya said that issues Russia considers to be the causes of the war against Ukraine must be resolved before any agreements can be reached.

In particular, he cited Ukraine's possible NATO membership and the alleged "threat" Ukraine poses to Russia. He also reiterated typical Kremlin rhetoric about the supposed "neo-Nazi nature of the regime" and the "the persecution of the Russian-speaking population of the country".
