One of the plans discussed in unofficial talks on ending the war in Ukraine envisages Russia acquiring all of Donbas and Finland withdrawing from NATO.
Modern.az reports, citing OE24 based on “Bild” newspaper, that Russia's proposals were also presented to European representatives during talks in Abu Dhabi.
According to the information, the plan envisages Russia retaining control of the territories it occupies, as well as the transfer of the parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions under Ukrainian control to Moscow.
Ukraine's refusal of NATO membership and the demilitarization of the ports of Odesa and Mykolaiv are also among the conditions. The country's future accession to the European Union is not excluded.
The proposals include not deploying NATO military bases in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and Finland's withdrawal from the alliance.
For Moldova, a federal structure encompassing Transnistria and Gagauzia is proposed. It is also envisaged to give these regions the opportunity to hold a referendum on independence.
In return, Russia cites the withdrawal of nuclear weapons from Belarus, not deploying medium-range missiles there, and withdrawing its troops from Transnistria as possible concessions.
