- According to Lavrov, the principles of violation of security agreed upon in the Euro-Atlantic space, the Western partners “are trying not even to ignore, but to consign to complete oblivion.” “And so that this does not happen, when we received approval from Washington for our initial proposals, I described in detail what we have just discussed with you in a separate message and forwarded it to all the foreign ministers of the OSCE states and a number of state states so that they thought about our hypothesis,” he added.
- Russia in the negotiations seeks to achieve commitments on the part of NATO and the United States not to expand the alliance and, first of all, does not affect its post-Soviet countries. President Vladimir Putin drew special attention to this at a press conference following a meeting with Congress Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Putin said that after the collapse of the USSR, Russia was “thrown” on this issue. “We were given promises not to advance the infrastructure one inch. They said one thing, they did another. Now NATO is in Poland, the republics, the Baltic countries. As our people say, they cheated, they cheated, ”the president believes.

Let’s imagine that Ukraine, a member of NATO, starts an operation in Crimea (I’m not talking about Donbass). This is the sovereign territory of Russia. Should we fight the NATO bloc? Has anyone thought? It looks like there is no president,” he said.
Putin said that the United States ignored the fundamental proposals of Russia
