Moscow-Sana
Deputy Secretary of the Russian Security Council Alexander Venediktov confirmed that the security guarantees that Russia demanded from the West before the military operation in Ukraine are still on the agenda.
TASS news agency quoted Venediktov as saying, in a statement to the agency, extracts of which were published today: One of the important principles of Moscow's foreign policy is to keep the doors open, and our initiatives on legally binding security guarantees have not been officially excluded from the agenda, wondering whether the West is ready for any negotiations or is it still illusions So far victorious on the battlefield and defeat of Russia.
The source added: When the Westerners realize that the strategy of conflict until the last Ukrainian, and constantly increasing the bet will not lead to anything, perhaps it will be possible to think about a return to Russia's initiatives, but so far the Americans and Europeans continue to push Kyiv to hell. The negotiations that took place between Moscow and Kiev last spring Blowed up under the direct guidance of Washington.
It is noteworthy that Russia called on the United States and NATO last December to provide legally binding security guarantees to Russia not to expand NATO to the east, to refrain from accepting Ukraine in the alliance, and to prevent the deployment of offensive weapons near the Russian borders.
