$CL Ukraine is not enough for the Kremlin. Now Russia wants to force Finland out of NATO and make the Alliance remove its military bases from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
According to BILD, these demands are part of one of Russia’s proposals for a “new European security order.” And that’s not all. The Kremlin’s ambitions extend to several countries:
⚫️ Ukraine: Give up its NATO membership aspirations, hand over all of Donbas to Russia, including territories still controlled by Kyiv, and demilitarize the ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv. EU membership would still be allowed.
⚫️ Moldova: Turn the country into a federation that includes Gagauzia and Transnistria. These regions would be allowed to hold independence referendums if Moldova joins the EU.
⚫️ Finland and the Baltic states: Finland must leave NATO, while the Alliance would be barred from maintaining military bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
And what is Moscow offering in return? Russia proposes removing its nuclear weapons from Belarus, refraining from deploying intermediate-range missiles there, and withdrawing Russian troops from Transnistria.
