Putin's full demands to Ukraine, NATO, and Moldova revealed

Russia has presented a comprehensive set of demands to Ukraine, NATO, Finland, the Baltic states, and Moldova, including territorial concessions, limits on NATO's military presence, and changes to Moldova's political structure. The demands were reported by international media, including BILD and The Telegraph, based on unofficial negotiations and Kremlin statements. According to reports, Russia demands control over all occupied Ukrainian territories, including the entire Donbas, and insists on Ukraine's non-aligned status with a ban on NATO membership. Moscow also proposes demilitarizing Odesa and Mykolaiv, while President Vladimir Putin has warned that any foreign troops in Ukraine would be legitimate targets, rejecting a demilitarized zone and claiming parts of Sumy and Kharkiv regions as a "security zone." Russia also seeks Finland's withdrawal from NATO, a ban on Alliance bases in the Baltics, and a return of NATO's military presence in Eastern Europe to 1997 levels. For Moldova, Moscow proposes a federal republic including Gagauzia and Transnistria, with potential independence referendums. In exchange, Russia reportedly offers to withdraw nuclear weapons from Belarus and its troops from Transnistria.
