A diplomatic source confirmed the authenticity of the US and NATO response to Russia's proposals on security guarantees in Europe, published in the Spanish El Pais. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“Yes,” the source said, answering a question about the authenticity of the document.

Earlier, El Pais reported that it had received the full text of the confidential response of the United States and NATO to Russia's proposals on security guarantees.

In December last year, 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. 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.
