This is supposed to be Putin‘s offer for Zelensky.
Reconciliation talks between Russia and Ukraine are at a critical stage, unidentified Israeli officials said.
Israel, which has good relations with both Russia and Ukraine, found itself in the role of a mediator between the two sides.
Israeli officials say Russia has softened its demands and is now only seeking the demilitarization of Donbas, not all of Ukraine.
Israeli officials thus have direct information about the top-level negotiations, which Israel somehow coordinates, they said they think there has been a softening of positions by both sides in the last 24 hours.
The Russians now say they only want to demilitarize the Donbas region, which includes two renegade separatist republics known by Putin, while Zelensky has publicly said Ukraine no longer insists on joining NATO.
Israeli officials hope these will be signs of progress towards a possible diplomatic solution.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited Moscow on Saturday and met with Putin. Shortly afterwards, he spoke with Zelensky and then with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
