In the negotiations, Russia presented new ultimatums that go beyond the requirements of 2021, - WP.
As the Washington Post points out in reference to the negotiating theses prepared by the Russian Federation, these demands copy the Kremlin's ultimatums to the US and NATO before a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The new proposals include demands that France and Britain stop the "nuclear exchange".
In addition, Russia demands not only that Ukraine never joins NATO, but also that Ukraine be barred from participating in the EU's collective defense and security policy if it ever becomes a member of the bloc.
The document goes further than the 2021 projects, and demands the introduction of restrictions on the Ukrainian army, as well as a ban on the presence of foreign troops and military installations on the territory of Ukraine.
In the document, Russia also demands that NATO not carry out any military activity on the territory of Ukraine, as well as in other countries in Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia, which Russia considers its sphere of influence.
"Putin's long-term goal remains Moscow's desire to exert greater influence over neighboring countries that were once part of the Soviet Union," WP writes.
