answer: The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a separate peace treaty signed on March 3, 1918, between the new Bolshevik government of Russia and the Central Powers (German Empire, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire), ending Russia's participation in World War I.  It resulted in Russia losing significant territory, including Ukraine and the Baltic states, and was never recognized by the Western Powers.
