HUMILIATED tyrant Vladimir Putin has listed his “surrender demands” to Ukraine – despite being humbled by a devastating drone blitz the day earlier.

Negotiators representing Mad Vlad suggested that Ukraine should essentially concede in order to terminate the ongoing war, during a second series of peace talks held in Istanbul on Monday.

This proposal was made just hours after Ukraine launched operation Spiderweb, a well-coordinated assault involving the smuggling of 117 drones into Russia, which then targeted Putin’s airfields.

The attack, which took 18 months to plan and has reportedly cost Putin billions in damages, has been dubbed Russia‘s Pearl Harbour”.

Now, his mouthpieces have given their terms for a ceasefire.

Its first section contained Moscow’s “basic parameters of a final settlement”.

The sham proposal demanded that Ukraine must withdraw its troops from four eastern regions that Russia only partly occupies at the moment.

It also ordered that the international community recognise Crimea as Russia’s sovereign territory – after they annexed the peninsula in 2014.

Putin’s list of demands further outlined that Kyiv should agree to restrict the size of its military forces, permanently adopt a stance of neutrality, and ensure that no foreign troops are stationed on its soil.

Other terms of the settlement included a bizarre ban on the “glorification or promotion of Nazism and neo-Nazism” in Ukraine – an accusation that Putin’s propaganda teams have consistently peddled.

Moscow also asked for diplomatic and economic ties between the neighbouring countries to be reinstated.

This would include the resumption of Russian natural gas flowing through Ukraine in order to be sold to other countries.

The unrealistic demands have been seen as yet another ploy to stall peace talks while Putin continues to carry out his bloody invasion.

The second section in the settlement listed the Kremlin’s conditions for agreeing to a temporary 30-day ceasefire.

It gave Kyiv two choices: Either withdraw troops from four regions claimed by Russia, or agree to cancelling martial law and holding elections.

Additional requirements packaged up with the two options included a total cessation of all foreign military aid, and for Ukraine to start demobilising.

The negotiations were brokered by the US and Turkey at the Ciragan palace – but appeared to bring neither side closer to a truce.

But they did manage to agree to an exchange of 6,000 dead bodies, and an “all-for-all” swap of seriously wounded POWs, and captured servicemen under the age of 25.

Russia offered local truces to collect the bodies – but Ukraine appeared to decline, as a senior military figure told The Telegraph that these pauses has been used before to prepare for fresh attacks.

Neither side could bridge their differences on a 30-day ceasefire plan tabled by Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

But the Don said on Monday that he was open to holding talks between himself, Zelensky and Putin.

The aggressive demands made by Russia on Monday appeared to be almost identical to the set of proposals suggested in the early months of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

These were interpreted as a full capitulation of Ukraine, and were rejected by Zelensky.

Kyiv’s proposals on Monday included security guarantees to prevent another Russian invasion, no international recognition of Moscow’s occupation of Ukrainian territories and no restriction on Kyiv’s military.

A Ukrainian official familiar with the talks called them “unproductive”, and branded Moscow’s settlement terms unacceptable.

Kyiv’s team were also accused of “putting on a show” after they provided a list of hundreds of Ukrainian children they wanted returned from Russia.

A Russian mouthpiece said: “Do not put on a show for European tender-hearted aunties who do not have children themselves.”

They then offered to return just 10 of the 300 or so Ukrainian children kidnapped Putin’s forces, according to The Telegraph.

The Russian tyrant’s demands came just one day after the most embarrassing security lapse of his war, which let allowed some 40 Russian strategic bombers to be destroyed.

Dramatic footage captured the moment 117 expertly smuggled drones being stored inside trucks in Russia were launched by Ukraine – in an operation which Zelensky hailed as one of the “history books“.

The SAS-style strike against four airfields deep inside Russia was reminiscent of the most daring raids of WW2 that turned the tide against the Nazis.

A triumphant Zelensky said: “It’s genuinely satisfying when something I authorised a year and six months ago comes to fruition and deprives Russians of over forty units of strategic aviation.

“We will continue this work.”

Putin’s doomsday bomber fleet is now crippled with 41, or a third, of his most prized aircraft lying in smouldering wrecks on tarmac.
