Russia Demands Finland Leave NATO in Abu Dhabi Talks: Report

Russian negotiators also proposed banning NATO bases in the Baltic states and keeping occupied Ukrainian territory, Bild reported.

  • On Friday, the German newspaper Bild reported that Russian negotiators presented informal proposals in Abu Dhabi demanding Finland leave NATO and banning military bases in the Baltic states.
  • Russian officials seek to establish a "new European security order," arguing Western governments previously promised not to enlarge NATO eastward to justify their informal outreach efforts.
  • Russia demands control over occupied Ukrainian territory and the Donbas, while requiring demilitarization of the Odesa and Mykolaiv ports with separate freedom of navigation guarantees in the Black Sea and Baltic Sea.
  • The plan envisions a federalized Moldova comprising core territory, Transnistria, and Gagauzia, with Russia offering to withdraw nuclear weapons from Belarus if Moldova allows independence referendums upon joining the European Union.
  • Ukraine would remain permanently non-aligned under the reported plan, ruling out NATO membership, though the proposal leaves open the possibility for Ukraine to pursue accession to the European Union.
