Actually, the Russians demand bit more:The main question what compromise Russia is going to offer. One of Putin's demands is 'denazification' of Ukraine. What does that mean?
Russian propaganda for almost 8 years has been talking that Ukraine has a 'Nazi regime'. That is nonsense of course. If this demand means replacing the current government with a Russian puppet one, then that is a no starter, basically.
Ukraine can declare a neutral status, but Russia should guarantee that integration into the EU doesn't include that (only NATO as a military bloc).
1) De-militarisation;
2) De-Nazification;
3) Recognition of Crimea, DPR and LPR.
What is even more important - Ukrainian conflict is just a part of the European Security Crisis, which is, in turn, part of Cold War 2.0 or pre-WWIII period.
BTW, are you still in Chernigov?
