Russia May Seek NATO Rollback to 1997 in Ukraine Talks
Russia may use renewed peace talks on Ukraine to press for concessions on NATO’s expansion and military presence in Europe, The Telegraph reported on Sunday, citing diplomatic sources. The Kremlin could seek a return to NATO’s 1997 configuration, which would potentially require the withdrawal of allied forces from Poland, the Baltic states, and Finland. No such demand has been publicly confirmed as part of the talks’ agenda.
