Any peace deal would require a referendum in Ukraine.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Accordingly, Ukrainian negotiator Oleksander Chaly said, \u201cIf we manage to consolidate these key provisions \u2026 then Ukraine will be in a position to actually fix its current status as a non-bloc and non-nuclear state in the form of permanent neutrality\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not host foreign military bases on our territory, as well as deploy military contingents on our territory, and we will not enter into military-political alliances,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
