Russia maintains its demands from before the Ukraine invasion, insisting on NATO troop withdrawal to 1997 positions. During recent negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Moscow reiterated its stance against Western arms supplies to Ukraine and proposed a return to Cold War-era spheres of influence for European security. The document presented to U.S. envoys reflects a hardening of Russia's position, including demands for NATO's non-expansion and restrictions on nuclear arms use by France and the UK. Despite some indications of potential flexibility from Putin, U.S. negotiators emphasized the need for new proposals that address current geopolitical realities. Following discussions in Moscow, Kushner noted that a resolution regarding Ukraine requires European involvement in negotiations.
