Kremlin comments on US response to “security guarantees” demanded by Moscow

“It cannot be said that our considerations have been taken into account or that there is any willingness to take our concerns into account,” Peskov told reporters.

The documents, which Washington submitted on Wednesday in coordination with NATO allies, are already with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“All documents are with the president,” he said. “Let’s not rush the evaluation, it needs analysis.”

Washington and NATO have demanded that the documents remain confidential, but many details have already been revealed by Western officials, a Kremlin spokesman said.

The United States, in coordination with NATO allies, responded to Moscow on Wednesday, rejecting any ban on Ukraine while offering a diplomatic path out of the crisis.

Russia has concentrated a troop of 100,000 men on Ukraine’s borders, raising concerns about a new invasion of a neighboring country.

In December, Moscow issued an ultimatum to the West demanding a halt to NATO’s further expansion to the east and the dismantling of the Alliance’s infrastructure in the so-called new member states, restoring the status quo on 27 May 1997, before NATO’s first enlargement.

Russia demanded two separate security agreements with the United States and NATO.

Putin has threatened that if Moscow does not receive the “security guarantees” it has demanded, it will have to implement “military technical measures”.

The United States and other NATO members have stated that these demands are unacceptable and not even negotiable, but have shown readiness to talk about arms control, missile deployment and confidence-building measures.

At a video summit on December 7, US President Joe Biden warned Putin that the United States would impose unprecedented sanctions on Russia if it attacked Ukraine.
