Moscow (Sputnik) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described the United States’ response to Russia’s security initiatives as unsatisfactory.
He also noted that Moscow called on the US government to take into account Russian security initiatives as a whole.
“We can consider how to move forward, but keep our initiatives from last December as they are, with a general approach,” Lavrov said at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on proposals to reduce the rapprochement between the United States and NATO with Russia’s borders.
Lavrov called for the continuation and intensification of negotiations with the United States and NATO devoted to security guarantees.
“It seems to me that our capabilities are in no way exhausted, of course we should not continue indefinitely, but at this point I suggest that it should continue and increase,” the foreign minister said.
Lavrov stressed that he saw the possibility of reaching an agreement with the West on security guarantees in the event of hearing Moscow’s proposals.
According to the head of Russian diplomacy, “our continuous explanatory work and dedication to explaining our reasons” will help achieve this goal, as long as “there is a will to listen to some arguments.”
“We have already said it more than once, and I have formulated it, together with other representatives of Russia, that we have warned of the unacceptable nature of endless talks on issues that must be resolved today. Today, as head of the State Department, it must be said that there is always a possibility” , stressed the head of Russian diplomacy.
In addition, he proposes that NATO return to the positions of 1997, committing to stopping the bloc’s expansion to the east and excluding the entry of the former Soviet Union countries, especially Ukraine.
The Russian President stated on February 1 that the other side I ignored Moscow’s basic concerns. NATO, he said, misled Russia by saying that it would not expand eastward and that its documents did not mention anything about the open-door policy, so he could refuse to accept Ukraine.
