A Russian policy document dated November 10 insists that Western allies reverse decades of military posture before Moscow agrees to halt hostilities. In addition to targeting European nuclear deterrence, the terms call for NATO to pull back to its 1997 deployment lines and expel Finland from the alliance. Russia also seeks to retain all occupied Ukrainian territories and permanently block Kyiv from accessing NATO membership. Notably, the proposal indicates Moscow would permit Ukraine to enter the European Union, provided it stays out of the bloc's common defense framework.
