Putin called the forceful containment of Russia a direct threat to the country's security

Forceful containment of Russia is a direct threat to the national security of the country. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a press conference following a meeting in Moscow with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, RIA Novosti reports.

“Forcible containment of Russia is perceived by us as a direct and immediate threat to national security, which is exactly what the legal agreements on the basis of the projects submitted by us are designed to remove,” the head of state said.

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.

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.

Earlier, Putin said that Russia has put forward security initiatives because it does not want war.
