“Today we have come to a moment of truth in our relations with NATO, when it is necessary to decide on principle.

We have taken this step and proceed from the fact that it will no longer be possible to somehow brush it off or "talk it out," Grushko said.

On December 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published draft agreements with the United States and NATO on security guarantees.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the US has seen Russia's proposals for security guarantees and is discussing them with NATO allies.
