Grushko noted that Russia, having received the US responses, will study them carefully and then specifically limit its steps.

Russia’s proposals on security measures in Europe were put forward in December 2021. In January 2022, races were held in Geneva and Brussels against the United States, NATO and the OSCE. Moscow is waiting after receiving a message from the United States on its proposals.
One of the independent states that Moscow put forward was subsequently legal guarantees of a ban on NATO expansion to the east and entry into the bloc of the countries of the former USSR.
Lavrov promised warnings in the absence of a response from the United States on a security guarantee
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking in the State Duma on January 26, said that Russia would take action if it did not receive a “constructive response” from the US and NATO. “If a constructive response does not follow and its aggressive course is adopted, Moscow, as the president has repeatedly stated, will take the necessary retaliatory measures,” Lavrov said.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is entitled to take retaliatory military-technical measures to ensure its security, but has never said what it might be about.
After talks in Geneva and Brussels, The New York Times reported that representatives of the Russian delegation were hinting at the possibility of linking nuclear weapons near US borders. According to official newspapers, this is not about private property, but about “hints” about the deployment of nuclear missiles in remote areas of the United States, that the Department of Defense should fly up to the target in five minutes.
There has been no official confirmation of this information.
