Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about retaliatory measures for the expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) in the east in an interview with Pavel Zarubin, the host of the Moscow.Kremlin.Putin program on the Russia 1 TV channel. On Sunday, December 26, Vesti writes about this in its Telegram-channel.

The head of state notes that they may be different, but depend on what proposals Russian military experts make. He also added that the Kremlin has already voiced its proposals to the US and NATO on the guarantee of strategic security and the achievement of a diplomatic result.

Putin allowed that the proposals were not voiced in order to “blackout something and stop something.”

On December 17, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented draft agreements with NATO and the United States on security guarantees. They note that the alliance should not create military bases in the territories of the former republics of the USSR, and is not part of NATO. Washington also urged not to use their infrastructure for any military activity.

Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reportedthat NATO’s eastward expansion is currently one of the most serious problems.
