Finland reacted strongly to Russia's demand for its withdrawal from NATO as a condition for a peace agreement with Ukraine. The Finnish Defense Minister stated that such matters are not negotiable and criticized Russia's long-standing claims. Finland's Foreign Minister emphasized that the decision to join NATO belongs solely to Finland and the alliance. Finland joined NATO in April 2023, following decades of neutrality, amid Russian threats. The reaction follows reports of extensive Russian demands during peace talks in Abu Dhabi, including the prohibition of NATO military bases in the Baltic states and Finland's return to its pre-NATO status.
