- In 2024, President Vladimir Putin demands a formal written commitment from Western countries to cease NATO’s expansion eastward as a condition for achieving peace in Ukraine.
- This demand follows Russia's long-standing claim that NATO's expansion, especially support for Ukraine, threatens Moscow and was never formally limited by the West.
- Putin's conditions also include lifting some Western sanctions, protecting Russian speakers in Ukraine, and ensuring Ukraine's neutrality amid intensified conflict and territorial disputes.
- A senior source said, "Putin is ready to make peace but not at any price," while Putin agreed to negotiate a peace memorandum including ceasefire timing.
- Kyiv insists on continuing NATO membership ambitions and needs strong security guarantees, leaving the peace process and war's outcome uncertain amid ongoing hostilities.
