Russia, as a proposal for a new European security system, demands Finland's withdrawal from NATO and the refusal to locate alliance bases in the Baltic states, Bild reports, citing sources.
According to them, the Russian Federation presented such demands also in unofficial negotiations (it is not specified which ones).
in negotiations in Abu Dhabi for Europe (although the representatives of the Russian Federation did not negotiate with the Europeans there, but only with Ukraine and the USA.).
At the same time, BIld claims that it is not known whether Putin supports this proposal, and notes that this is only one of the proposals discussed in informal negotiation circles.
According to this proposal, the Russian Federation demands that Ukraine be given non-aligned status and refuses to join NATO, but membership in the European Union is allowed. The ports of Odessa and Nikolaev are proposed to be demilitarized so that Ukraine cannot use them as naval bases. Agreements on freedom of navigation in the Black and Baltic seas are also expected.
In addition, as the publication writes, Moscow continues to insist on the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the part of Donbass that remains under Kiev's control.
It is proposed to make Moldova a federal republic with Gagauzia and Transnistria. And if Moldova joins the EU, Transnistria and Gagauzia should have the opportunity to hold referendums on independence.
In return, the Russian Federation offers to withdraw nuclear weapons from Belarus and abandon the deployment of medium-range missiles there, as well as withdraw forces from Transnistria.
Moscow has not officially approved such proposals.
