There is currently no threat of an immediate Russian attack on Ukraine. This was announced by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell after talks with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. Reuters.
“As I said, I had the opportunity to speak with the Secretary of State [США Энтони] Blinken before and after negotiations with Russia. So there was nothing new for me today. Definitely, I don’t think there is anything that can increase the fear for an immediate attack,” Borrell said.
NATO Secretary General said that the transfer of alliance forces does not threaten Russia
Russian and US foreign ministers Sergei Lavrov and Anthony Blinken met in Geneva on January 21 to discuss Russian proposals for security guarantees. Moscow sent them to Washington and NATO in mid-December last year. The United States promised to send a written response to Russia’s proposals this week.
Among the demands of Russia is the non-expansion of NATO to the east and the refusal of the countries of the alliance from military activities in Ukraine. Negotiations between Russia and the United States, NATO and the OSCE took place in the first half of January, when the parties failed to reach an agreement.
