Putin appreciated the US response to proposals for security guarantees

Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on Washington's response to the security guarantees offered by Moscow, in particular, the guaranteed non-expansion of NATO to the East. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.

“The impression is that we did not even raise these questions, they were simply bypassed. We see political clichés and proposals on some minor issues,” the Russian president said at a press conference following a meeting with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

Putin also appreciated Russia's proposals. According to him, there are no impossible conditions in the document.

Macron, in turn, said that the dialogue between Russia and the West must be continued "in order to find a solution both in the short and long term."

In addition, Putin was categorically against the expansion of NATO to the East due to the entry of new countries into the alliance. The head of state noted that they continue to reassure Moscow, saying that the North Atlantic Alliance performs an exclusively defensive function. However, NATO's actions in many countries have shown that this is not the case, he added.
