Russia announces US and NATO response on security guarantees

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is preparing a response to the United States and NATO on security guarantees. He announced this during a press conference following talks with French President Emmanuel Macron, RIA Novosti reports.

“We are now preparing a response with our vision and will send (the response) to Washington and Brussels,” the head of state said.

During the press conference, Putin stressed that in Moscow's proposals for security guarantees, which were sent to the North Atlantic Alliance and the United States, "there is not a single point" that the Russian side "deems unenforceable."

The meeting of the leaders of France and Russia was held on February 7 in the Kremlin.

The Russian Foreign Ministry published drafts of a treaty between Russia and the United States on security guarantees and an agreement on measures to ensure the security of the Russian Federation and NATO member states on December 17 last year. In the document, in particular, the parties undertake to eliminate all existing infrastructure for the deployment of nuclear weapons outside their territory, exercise restraint in military planning and not take actions that affect each other's security.

On January 26, the US and NATO handed over to Russia their written responses to Moscow's proposed security guarantees. In statements, they outlined their principles in negotiations with Moscow.
