Russia has reportedly proposed a set of conditions for a peace settlement in Ukraine that would require Finland to withdraw from NATO, prohibit the alliance from maintaining military bases in the Baltic states and establish Ukraine’s neutral status. German newspaper Bild reported the details, citing its own sources.

According to the publication, Moscow has put forward a tough proposal that would significantly reshape Europe’s security architecture. Under the reported terms, NATO would have to abandon its military bases in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, while Finland would be required to leave the North Atlantic Alliance.

A separate set of conditions concerns Ukraine. Bild reports that the proposed agreement would require Kyiv to formally adopt a neutral status and demilitarize its ports. At the same time, Russia would not oppose Ukraine’s potential accession to the European Union.

The proposal also reportedly calls for substantial changes to Moldova’s political structure. According to the German newspaper, Moscow wants Moldova to become a federal republic incorporating Transnistria, with Gagauzia receiving full autonomous status.

If Moldova decides to join the European Union, these regions would be entitled to initiate referendums on independence.

In exchange for these concessions, Russia is reportedly prepared to withdraw its nuclear weapons from Belarus and refrain from deploying intermediate-range missiles there. Moscow would also withdraw Russian troops from Transnistria.

Bild emphasized that the reported proposal represents only one of several possible agreements currently being discussed within diplomatic negotiating circles.

The report comes amid intensified diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Representatives of Russia, Ukraine and the United States held trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi on November 10–11. The following day, Russian President Vladimir Putin received US representatives Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff at the Kremlin.

Kushner subsequently announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to include European Union representatives in the next round of negotiations. He explained that a lasting cessation of hostilities would require reliable security guarantees, mechanisms for delineating boundaries and mutual commitments to de-escalation aimed at preventing future conflicts.
