United States intends to respond to Russia's proposals on security guarantees and to identify areas where they can respond to Russia's concerns. Bloomberg said this referring to an EU official who did not want to be appointed.
According to the agency, states will coordinate their response with the EU and NATO. The answer is unlikely to be a detailed discussion of Russia's demands, but will outline areas where the Allies can address Russia's concerns. It will also list Russia's actions of concern to the Allies.
Recall that on December 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published draft agreements on security guarantees expected from the US and NATO. In particular, it is proposed that the alliance refuse to expand to the east and refuse to accept Ukraine.
Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was waiting for written answers to proposals after talks between the Russian Federation. and the United States with its allies. This will be followed by a “final analysis”. Peskov had previously said that negotiations on security guarantees with the United States and then with NATO had failed. He emphasized that “differences were noted on the fundamental issues of consultation between the Russian Federation, the United States and NATO in Geneva and Brussels.”
