Putin lamented NATO’s unwillingness to “adequately” respond to “Russian concerns”

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a conversation with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, noted that NATO does not adequately respond to “Russian concerns.” This is reported by the Kremlin website.

The report says that the leaders exchanged views on the intra-Ukrainian crisis and discussed Russia’s security guarantees. During the conversation, the president drew attention to Kiev’s “chronic sabotage” of the Minsk agreements and NATO’s unwillingness to “adequately respond to well-founded Russian concerns.” The report also recorded that NATO is hiding behind the open door policy, which is contrary to the fundamental principle of the indivisibility of security.

Earlier, the text of the responses of the United States and NATO on the security guarantees proposed by Russia was leaked to the Network. These documents indicate that NATO does not want a confrontation with Russia, but will not compromise on issues of principle for itself. The alliance offered to restore relations and the work of the embassies closed last year, but at the same time threatened to deploy more troops in Eastern Europe in the event of “Russian aggression against Ukraine.”
