The Russian documents were submitted to the US and its allies earlier this week. The publication of unfinished agreements is an unusual move in international diplomacy.

What does Russia want?

1. An end to NATO military activity in eastern Europe, including Ukraine, the Caucasus and Central Asia
2. No expansion of NATO membership, particularly to Ukraine
3. No intermediate or shorter-range missiles deployed close enough to hit the territory of the other side
4. No military exercises of more than one military brigade in an agreed border zone  
5. An agreement that parties do not consider each other as adversaries and will resolve disputes peacefully
6. Neither Russia nor the United States can deploy nuclear weapons outside their national territories
