🇷🇺 🇪🇺‼️ Russia has brought a fairly extensive wish list to the peace talks on Ukraine.
At the top is a longstanding demand that NATO pull its forces back to where they were in 1997, before Poland and the Baltic states joined.
That would mean withdrawing NATO forces from those countries.
But Moscow wants more. No further NATO expansion, no Western weapons for Ukraine, and no British or French nuclear protection for other European countries.
Poland has already rejected the demands.
So Russia is not just asking for changes in Ukraine. It wants to change how much of Europe is defended.
