Blinken will not provide Lavrov in Geneva with a written response from the United States to security requirements

“I will not present the paper at the moment to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

We need to see where we are and if we still have opportunities for diplomacy and dialogue, which is certainly preferable,” the US Secretary of State said during a press conference in Kiev.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Blinken and Lavrov will meet on January 21 in Geneva.

As Lavrov said earlier, Russia needs the US and NATO to react to every article of the draft documents he proposed on security guarantees.

The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, noted that the situation regarding security negotiations with the United States and NATO is generally clear, but written wordings will have to wait.
