US confirmed readiness for security talks with Russia

The United States and Russia have not yet determined the date and place of the security talks, but both sides expressed their readiness to enter into dialogue at the beginning of January. This was stated by a high-ranking representative of the American administration, RIA Novosti reports.

“We have not yet set a date and place for these negotiations,” he said.

A White House spokesman added that progress can only be made in an atmosphere of de-escalation. Commenting on Russia's proposals on security guarantees, he said that the United States would not publicly respond to Russia's proposals. At the same time, he stressed that the discussion will also focus on US concerns in this matter.

On December 17, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that on December 15, it had submitted to the American side the draft treaty between Russia and the United States on security guarantees and an agreement on security measures for the Russian Federation and NATO member states.
