What are Russia's key demands regarding NATO's commitment to Ukraine?
Russia is demanding that NATO formally withdraw its 2008 membership promise to Ukraine made at the Bucharest summit. According to Russian officials, simply refusing to accept Ukraine into NATO presently is insufficient - the alliance must completely disavow the Bucharest promises that guaranteed Ukraine future membership in the North Atlantic bloc. Following talks mediated by Saudi officials, Russian representatives stated that the negotiations had gone 'pretty well.' Russia's position is that without this formal withdrawal, the issue will continue to 'poison the atmosphere on the European continent.'
