What is Russia demanding from NATO regarding Ukraine?
Russia is pushing for NATO to formally withdraw its 2008 membership promise to Ukraine made at the Bucharest summit. According to Moscow, simply refusing to accept Ukraine into NATO presently is insufficient - the alliance must explicitly disavow its previous guarantees that Ukraine would become a member in the future. This demand represents an escalation in Russia's position, as they see the current moment as opportune to raise these fresh demands. The Bucharest promises of 2008 specifically guaranteed Ukraine eventual membership in the North Atlantic bloc, a commitment Russia now insists must be formally retracted.
