Russia turned down us eu demand
You're referring to the recent diplomatic tensions between Russia and the West!
Yes, you're likely referring to the fact that Russia has rejected demands from the United States and the European Union (EU) to comply with certain conditions in order to ease the ongoing crisis.
Here are some specific examples:
- US sanctions: The US has imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential election, as well as its actions in Ukraine and Syria. Russia has refused to comply with US demands to cease its alleged meddling and to withdraw its support for separatist groups in eastern Ukraine.
- EU sanctions: The EU has also imposed sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine, including the annexation of Crimea. Russia has rejected EU demands to withdraw its troops from Ukraine and to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
- Nord Stream 2 pipeline: The US and EU have expressed concerns about the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which would increase Russia's gas exports to Europe and potentially increase its influence over the region. Russia has refused to comply with US and EU demands to halt the project or to ensure that it is not used as a tool for political leverage.
In response to these demands, Russia has taken a number of steps, including:
- Expelling diplomats: Russia has expelled diplomats from the US and EU in retaliation for similar actions taken by those countries against Russian diplomats.
- Restricting access to Russian assets: Russia has restricted access to its assets, including bank accounts and real estate, for US and EU citizens and companies.
- Increasing military presence: Russia has increased its military presence in Ukraine and Syria, and has conducted military exercises near the borders of NATO member states.
The situation remains tense, with no clear signs of a resolution in sight.
