Well that isn't going to happen. Wonder why they made such a ridiculous demand. Did Russia really think that was going to happen?The Russian Foreign Ministry demands the withdrawal of NATO troops from Eastern Europe & the Baltics to end the war in Ukraine
Either the Russians are delusional and still believe in their strength, or this is some sort of negotiating tactic/way to project strength.Well that isn't going to happen. Wonder why they made such a ridiculous demand. Did Russia really think that was going to happen?
There is the possibility also that Russia is attempting to replace battlefield losses in Ukraine.
"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."
