Russia - Peskov on CNN announced Putin's readiness to negotiate on Ukraine

Russia (bbabo.net), - Russian President Vladimir Putin "is ready to discuss with the parties concerned security issues in the EU, as well as the situation around Ukraine.

Press Secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov recalled that Putin has always insisted on negotiations and diplomacy, and it was he who initiated the issue of security guarantees for the Russian Federation.

"Ukraine is only part of a larger problem of security guarantees for Russia. And, of course, President Putin is ready to negotiate," Peskov said on the air of the American television channel CNN.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Washington had given a negative answer to Moscow's key proposals on security guarantees. Among them is the inadmissibility of NATO expansion to the east, the non-deployment of strike weapons in European countries.

"Of course, this cannot satisfy us," the minister added.
