Russia has presented the U.S. with a list of demands for a deal to end its war against Ukraine and reset relations with Washington, according to sources. The demands include no NATO membership for Kyiv, no foreign troops in Ukraine, and international recognition of President Vladimir Putin's claim to Crimea and four provinces. It is unclear if Putin will engage seriously in peace talks. The Biden administration had discussed the demands prior to the Ukraine invasion. Some U.S. officials fear that Putin would use a truce to divide the U.S., Ukraine, and Europe and undermine any talks.
