They also want all the Eastern NATO support bases gone - especially the ones in Poland and Romania.
Putin wants the all old Soviet satellite states back - and he wants the Baltic states under his control due to climate change and the increased accessibility to Arctic resources.
He'll probably let Germany remain unified, so long as their government is weakened. But Russia has always needed buffer states between them and the rest of the world.
