So he answered the question of whether Putin asked Biden to give an obligation not to let Ukraine into NATO.
“He adheres to the thesis that the country should be able to freely choose with whom it will associate,” added the adviser to the US president.
Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier, in the framework of negotiations with his American counterpart Joe Biden, called the further advance of NATO to the east and the deployment of offensive weapons in Ukraine as red lines for Moscow.
Prior to this, a representative of the American administration noted the US’s readiness to support discussions between NATO and Russia.
However, at the same time, he stressed that Washington is not going to act in accordance with the logic of "accepting other, anyone's, red lines," about which Putin spoke.
