Russia's Full Demands in Its Peace Plan for Ukraine, Moldova, and NATO

Russia has published a full list of demands in its "peace plan" for Ukraine, Moldova, and NATO, 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. The plan requires Ukraine to cede all occupied territories and the entire Donbas, adopt a non-aligned status, and demilitarize the ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv. Russia also demands NATO withdraw its military presence in Eastern Europe to 1997 levels, affecting countries like Poland and the Baltics, and seeks Finland's exit from NATO. For Moldova, Russia proposes a federal republic including Gagauzia and Transnistria, with the latter two regions allowed to hold independence referendums if Moldova joins the EU. In exchange, Moscow offers to withdraw nuclear weapons from Belarus and troops from Transnistria.
