The Russian Foreign Ministry demands the withdrawal of NATO troops from Eastern Europe & the Baltics to end the war in Ukraine
Well that isn't going to happen. Wonder why they made such a ridiculous demand. Did Russia really think that was going to happen?
 
German intelligence chief claims Russian officials no longer believe that NATO's collective defence obligations have any practical force

Bruno Kahl, head of the Federal Intelligence Service, said his agency had clear intelligence indications that Russian officials believed the collective defence obligations enshrined in the NATO treaty no longer had practical force.
Kahl said Russian officials were envisaging confrontations that fell short of a full military engagement that would test whether the U.S. would really live up to its mutual aid obligations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.

"They don't need to dispatch armies of tanks for that," he said. "It's enough to send little green men to Estonia to protect supposedly oppressed Russian minorities."
"We are quite certain, and we have intelligence showing it, that Ukraine is only a step on the journey westward," Kahl told Table Media in a podcast interview.
"That doesn't mean we expect tank armies to roll westwards," he added. "But we see that NATO's collective defence promise is to be tested."

That is going to make for an interesting few years.

If this were the case they wouldn’t demand the Baltics left NATO as they wouldn’t think anyone was actually going to come to their defense. I’m sure some people in the kremlin may believe that but it sure seems the Russian official position doesn’t reflect that.
 

The Russian Foreign Ministry demands the withdrawal of NATO troops from Eastern Europe & the Baltics to end the war in Ukraine​

​

The conflict in Ukraine will not end, “until NATO leaves,” said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, responsible for U.S. relations, nonproliferation and arms control, made the remarks in an interview with state-run news agency Tass.​

Spent the afternoon researching this, yeah he never actually said anything like this at all. He said the Russians welcomed the reports of the Americans potentially reducing the number of troops in the baltics as an effort to reduce tension, and said the root cause of the war was NATO attempting to expand eastward. He was referring to Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova NOT the Baltics. Both of these articles take out of context his quotes.
