Russia is again demanding the withdrawal of NATO as a condition for an agreement with Ukraine.
In closed talks in Abu Dhabi with representatives of Donald Trump, Moscow reiterated its position at the end of 2021: rejecting the expansion of the alliance, stopping military activity in Ukraine and other regions, and returning NATO forces to the 1997 lines.
Russia is also demanding an end to Western arms supplies to Kiev, limiting Ukraine's role in EU defense policy, and ensuring that France and Britain do not extend their nuclear umbrella to other European countries. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called these conditions unacceptable, stating that they posed a direct threat to Poland's security.
