    Turning Ukraine into a demilitarized country, a compromise - Kremlin

The proposal of turning Ukraine into a demilitarized country with its own army, like what happened in Austria or Sweden, can be viewed as a compromise, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Russia's chief negotiator, presidential assistant Vladimir Medinsky, revealed that during the talks with Russia, Ukraine expressed willingness to demilitarize but stressed that it wanted to retain its own military forces, similar to Sweden or Austria.

"This is the option that is really being discussed now and which can be seen as a real compromise," Peskov told reporters.

Russia, Ukraine Touched Upon Topic of Sanctions at Talks

Peskov also said the sanctions issue was on the negotiations table between Moscow and Kiev but said it was too early to reveal any details.

"I will not comment [on it]. Indeed, the topic of sanctions is touched upon at these negotiations. But I would not like to give any details now," Peskov told reporters when asked whether Russia would link the signing of the final document with Kiev with the lifting of Western sanctions.

US Pressure on other countries unprecedented 

Washington's pressure on other countries is unparalleled these days, with the great majority succumbing to it. However, there are others who follow their own way, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday. 

"The United States is exerting unprecedented pressure on many countries of the world these days. The vast majority of countries bend under this pressure, but there are also countries that do not bend and take their sovereign position, more balanced. And they openly declare that they consider any pressure on themselves unacceptable," Peskov told reporters.
