Germany warned of consequences for the West because of its refusal to talk about the demands of the Russian Federation

Sevim Dagdelen (Left), a member of the Bundestag committee on foreign policy, said that the escalation will increase due to the West's refusal to talk about Russia's demands for security guarantees. The corresponding statement is posted on the website of the deputy.

According to her, the "leftists" are criticizing the continued refusal of the US and NATO to even talk about Moscow's demands for security guarantees, including the treaty fixing the halt to the expansion of the North Atlantic alliance to the east.

“This means that the conflict with Russia will continue and escalate further,” the parliamentarian believes.

She also pointed out that "the dialogue on arms control, increased transparency and risk reduction offered by NATO and the United States is a matter of course, but does not replace essential security guarantees." The politician believes that the Ukrainian conflict “can only be resolved at the negotiating table”, and not by the supply of weapons from Germany.

She recalled that, according to polls, the majority of Germans do not support the supply of weapons to Kiev and are in favor of a more active role for Berlin in resolving the conflict in the Donbass.

“Instead of provoking further militarization of Donbass and destabilization of the region with purely symbolic policies, the German government should call on Kiev to comply with the Minsk agreements and unequivocally condemn any further use of Turkish combat drones by Ukraine,” Dagdelen added.

The Russian Foreign Ministry published drafts of a treaty between Russia and the United States on security guarantees and an agreement on measures to ensure the security of the Russian Federation and NATO member states on December 17 last year. In the document, in particular, the parties undertake to eliminate all existing infrastructure for the deployment of nuclear weapons outside their territory, exercise restraint in military planning and not take actions that affect each other's security.

On January 26, the US and NATO handed over to Russia their written responses to Moscow's proposed security guarantees. In statements, they outlined their principles in negotiations with Moscow.

The story of a possible “Russian invasion” of Ukraine has been actively promoted in the West since mid-autumn 2021. The US has consistently pointed to a supposed increase in Russia's presence near Ukraine's borders, threatening Moscow with new sanctions if it escalates. At the same time, the Kremlin has more than once directly denied any plans to attack Ukraine, on the contrary, pointing to the possible preparation of a military operation in the Donbass by Kiev.
