“I think that part of the plan is to put forward a list of absolutely impossible requirements, and then declare that the other side does not want to work together, use this as a kind of justification for aggressive actions,” the secretary of state said in an interview with reporters.
He also added that Russia knows which requirements are doomed to failure, and in which areas the dialogue can take place.
Negotiations between Russia and the United States on Russian proposals on security guarantees are scheduled for January 10 in Geneva, a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council will take place in Brussels on January 12, and then Russia-OSCE talks will take place in Vienna on January 13.
