Russia and the West have met one after another this week to discuss the situation in Ukraine, where military tensions continue, but the gap between claims has not been closed.
Russia has argued that the United States will soon come up with a counter-proposal to the request not to expand the NATO-North Atlantic Treaty Organization any further, and has shown its stance to determine the way out.
Regarding the situation in Ukraine, while the Western side is calling on Russia, which has an army unit of about 100,000 people near the border, to withdraw from the army, NATO will not expand by increasing the number of member countries anymore. We demand that it be legally guaranteed.
Since the 10th of this month, Russia, the United States and NATO have been holding meetings one after another, and on the 13th, the OSCE = Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which Russia is a member of as well as Europe and the United States, was held in Vienna, Austria. ..
In this, Poland's Foreign Minister Lau expressed a sense of crisis that "the risk of war in this region has been higher than ever in the last 30 years," but the Russian side ignored the request for NATO. I was repulsed when I was there, and the gap between the claims was not closed.
Against this backdrop, Russian Foreign Minister Sergeĭ Viklov claimed in an interview on state television yesterday that the United States had promised to provide a written counter-proposal to Russia's request next week.
On top of that, he emphasized that future discussions will depend on the United States and NATO, and has shown an attitude of determining the way out.
