Reports of Russia's Proposal for Finland to Leave NATO Denied Amid Abu Dhabi Talks
Reports emerged that Russia proposed during Abu Dhabi talks a new European security order demanding Finland withdraw from NATO and banning NATO bases in the Baltic states. Russia denied making such demands. Finnish officials rejected any negotiation on their NATO membership, emphasizing it was a sovereign decision. The proposals also reportedly included Russia retaining occupied Ukrainian territories and controlling Donbas. The extent of President Putin's endorsement of these proposals remains unclear, with multiple intermediaries presenting competing plans.
