Negotiations with the United States on security guarantees will take place in January. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said this in an interview with Soloviev Live.
“It is with the United States that we will conduct the main round of negotiations (on security guarantees), which will take place immediately after the end of the New Year holidays,” he said.
Meanwhile, as reported by TASS, the chairman of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, said that active military development of the territory of Ukraine by NATO countries is taking place, which brings the alliance closer to the borders of Russia. She added that “Russia did not and does not have any plans to attack Ukraine.”
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry handed over to Washington and its allies a draft treaty with the United States and an agreement with NATO. For example, Moscow proposed that the alliance provide guarantees that would exclude further advancement of the bloc in an eastern direction, in particular, on Ukrainian territory.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the topic of security guarantees from NATO is for Russia “a matter of life and death.”
“We see what NATO is doing, we see maneuvers at our borders, we see the delivery of a huge amount of equipment. They are imported through Greece in other directions as well. This technique begins to penetrate the territory of Ukraine, military instructors, of whom there are already several thousand, begin to call in there. Gradually NATO penetrates into the territory of Ukraine, and then in fact only the formalization of this process will remain, ”he added.
