Kremlin denies demanding Finland's NATO exit after Bild report

nv.ua (Ukrainian) —

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied that Russia demanded Finland's withdrawal from NATO, saying he was unaware of such a demand and that it was definitely not made. The denial follows a Bild report claiming Russia sought Finland's NATO exit, no Alliance bases in Baltic states, full control of Donbas, and "demilitarization" of Odesa and Mykolaiv as conditions for ending the war in Ukraine, reportedly presented during unofficial talks in Abu Dhabi. The Abu Dhabi negotiations between Ukraine, the US, and Russia concluded on November 11 with agreement on a large prisoner exchange. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner then met Putin in Moscow and Zelensky in Dublin, with further talks planned.
