Putin demands Britain stop defending Europe with nuclear weapons

Russia has said Britain must stop using nuclear weapons to protect its European allies if it wants peace in Ukraine.

The proposal is on a list of requirements drawn up by Russian negotiators for talks about ending the long-running war.

Moscow’s policy document calls for Nato to withdraw its forces from Eastern Europe and the Baltic states, remove Finland from the alliance and commit to not sending troops to Ukraine before Vladimir Putin will consider a ceasefire.
