Russia Proposes Finland Exit From NATO
Tap title to read story
Russia has outlined sweeping changes to Europe’s security architecture, proposing Finland’s withdrawal from NATO and banning alliance military bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, according to German newspaper Bild. The informal proposals were reportedly shared with European representatives during U.S.-mediated negotiations in Abu Dhabi, extending beyond Ukraine’s territorial disputes. U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to include European representatives in the next round of peace talks, allowing broader security arrangements to be discussed. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied that Finland’s exit was demanded, stating the proposal had not been discussed. The plan would also keep Russia’s current Ukrainian holdings and require Ukraine to remain permanently non‑aligned.
