The Kremlin has given its response to U.S. security proposals that were hand-delivered to Moscow on Wednesday.
Likening current tensions in Europe as reminiscent of the Cold War, Peskov said it would take time for Moscow to review the U.S.' response and that "it would be silly to expect a response on the next day." In its response, which was given to the Kremlin by the U.S.' ambassador in Moscow, the U.S. repeated its previous refusal to concede to such demands, sticking instead to its commitment to NATO's "open-door" policy.that the U.S.' response also offered Russia "a serious diplomatic path forward, should Russia choose it."
The U.S. and NATO are not prepared to take Russia at its word. NATO has placed its forces on standby and reinforced its positions in Eastern Europe, with more ships and fighter jets being sent to the region. "On the main question, there's no positive reaction in this document," he said, according to the Interfax news service."that any further disregard for the legitimate concerns of the Russian Federation, which are associated primarily with the continued military exploration of Ukraine by the United States and its NATO allies against the background of the largescale deployment of the alliance's forces and weapons near our borders, would have the most serious consequences.
