The Ukraine war won’t end until NATO withdraws troops from the Baltics, a top Russian official has warned.
Sergei Ryabkov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister responsible for U.S. relations, nonproliferation and arms control, made the remarks in an interview with state-run news agency Tass.
Ryabkov’s comments mark a shift in the Kremlin’s position. He suggested that the conflict’s roots lie not only in Ukraine itself but in NATO’s eastward expansion. According to Ryabkov, the withdrawal of NATO forces from the Baltics would help bring an end to the war.
Russia doesn’t get to dictate who other sovereign nations choose to associate with.
Sorry I don’t believe that would change a damn thing. A little late now…
The Baltics are part of NATO because they didn’t want to be part of the failed Soviet Union or the modern Russian Federation. And with Russia invading Ukraine, twice now, it isn’t very hard to see why.
Get fucked Russia.
NATO can’t pull out of the baltics. NATO isn’t in the baltics. The baltics are NATO.
“Moscow should pull out of Russia” is a equally nonsensical statement.
Lmfao they’re slipping. It’s really telling. Putin is losing control. His conventional forces must be in pretty dire straits.
Maybe losing another meaningful fraction of his nuclear forces will help him feel better.
Baltics need to take Kaliningrad, de-nazify it and deshitify it.
The only good answer to that:
“No, that won’t happen. So I guess we’re in this for another year. Here’s the list of wapons that we will deliver to Ukraine, as well as spare parts and ammo that go with them. And here’s the list of new sanctions we’ll apply against Russia. See you next year, except if you have a change of heart”.
But that’s not going to happen…
Yep. He’s setting a demand that he knows will NEVER be fulfilled so he can justify continuing. So he needs to feel the consequences
