The Kremlin is pushing for NATO to reduce its military presence in Europe to pre-expansion levels, potentially withdrawing forces from Poland and the Baltic states. Russia aims to broaden negotiations on Ukraine to encompass the entire European security framework. Diplomatic sources indicate that Putin seeks to transform discussions about ending the war into talks about European security architecture. European nations have previously rejected Moscow's demands for a reduced NATO presence. Any agreement would likely require the withdrawal of Russian troops from Belarus, where military assets have been deployed.
