SEOUL, November 14 (AJP) -Russia has revived its demand that NATO withdraw forces from Eastern Europe to positions held before the alliance's eastward expansion in 1997, widening the scope of U.S.-brokered Ukraine peace talks to Europe's security architecture, The New York Times reported Friday.
A Russian document circulated during closed-door negotiations with U.S. envoys this week repeated demands Moscow made shortly before its February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, including a military pullback from Poland and the Baltic states. The demands suggest President Vladimir Putin remains unwilling to compromise on his core war objectives despite more than 20 months of U.S. diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
