  "summary": "Russia may seek to rollback NATO's expansion to 1997 levels during Ukraine peace talks, according to diplomatic sources cited by The Telegraph. The report suggests that Moscow could demand NATO return to its 1997 configuration, which would involve removing forces from countries that joined the alliance after 1997, including Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov has stated that European countries should be included in discussions to end the war, and future talks should address a broader European security framework. While the report does not cite an official Russian proposal, it highlights the potential for Russia to link its demands on NATO to negotiations over Ukraine. The article also notes that Ukraine, Russia, and the US are discussing restarting negotiations at the technical level, with Kremlin aide Ushakov stating that Russia is prepared to resume trilateral talks after its National Unity Day holiday on November 4.",
