The United States received a response from Russia to proposals for security guarantees. This was confirmed by the representative of the State Department. The content of the document is not disclosed.
However, earlier the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the proposals of the Americans “cast a shadow on the wattle fence”, that is, they did not add clarity. At the same time, as Sergei Lavrov noted, there are rational grains.
Meanwhile, the States continue escalate the situation around Ukraine. A Pentagon spokesman said the Americans could move troops there. The decision has not yet been made. But John Kirby announced new deliveries of weapons to Ukraine.
Prepare in Europe. Thus, Slovakia, if necessary, will allow NATO to strengthen its presence on its eastern border.
Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said: meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine became an example of “megaphone diplomacy”. The states themselves are whipping up hysteria, and this meeting is an example of this.
Thus, the movement of Russian troops on their own territory is allegedly presented as planning a military action. Although the West does not provide any evidence. Vasily Nebenzya even left the hall in the midst of the meeting, right before the speech of the representative of Ukraine. But he urged not to take it as a demarche. The planned meeting with the UN Secretary General was to blame.
