Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded that Britain stop extending its nuclear deterrent to European allies as part of Moscow's proposed conditions for ending the war in Ukraine.

Axar.az reports, citing The Telegraph, that Moscow is also demanding that NATO withdraw its forces from Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, exclude Finland from the alliance, and pledge not to deploy troops to Ukraine.

Moscow also called for an end to Western arms supplies to Ukraine and ruled out the country's NATO membership. Russia would also retain the Ukrainian territories it currently occupies.

The demands represent Moscow's opening position for future negotiations involving US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

The proposals are likely to face rejection from NATO members and Ukraine. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said that Europe's security arrangements are not open to negotiation with Russia.
