According to the senator, the Americans, in principle, have the right not to answer publicly.
At the same time, Klimov stressed that, nevertheless, Russia published these documents so that "the citizens of NATO countries understand what is the meaning of our proposals."
“If these proposals are not going to respond publicly, then either they want to organize some kind of bargaining behind the scenes, or what Putin warned about is starting: attempts to drag out this whole story.
We act openly, openly, transparently and, in my opinion, reasoned.
And they want to drag everything backstage somewhere, "said the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier it was reported that a senior official of the American administration announced the refusal of the United States to publicly respond to Russian proposals for security guarantees.
On December 17, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs published draft treaties with the United States and the North Atlantic Alliance on security guarantees.
