“Russia has demanded that NATO withdraw from ALL of the former Soviet occupied countries.”

Is Ukraine a former Soviet occupied country, or is it an original constituent founding member of the USSR?
Well I guess according to your logic Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenian shouldn't exist as independent, free countries.
On December 30, 1922, in post-revolutionary Russia, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) is established, comprising a confederation of Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine and the Transcaucasian Federation (divided in 1936 into the Georgian, Azerbaijan and Armenian republics)
