Russia demands in writing that Ukraine does not join NATO and the US rejects it
Antony Blinken, head of US diplomacy reiterates that the diplomatic channel remains open pending the pronouncement of Moscow.
The United States is willing to seek conciliatory ways, but will not close Ukraine's entry into NATO, as requested by Russia. Antony Blinken has shown that his reaction is a development of the conciliatory path.
The reaction, which is not fully known, states that the US remains open to the exchange. How it will respond is in Russia's hands, and the US is prepared for their decision.
John J. Sullivan, the US representative in Moscow, relayed the reaction in Moscow. Sergei Lavrov, the head of Russian diplomacy, said last Friday in Geneva that they demanded concrete answers to their requests.
Russia also needs NATO to return to the same situation it was in before enlargement to Eastern Europe and the Baltic.
The minutes, which have not yet been disclosed, allude to Western concerns about how Russia's activities are undermining security, according to Blinken. It guarantees that it is an organized reaction with the European partners.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, met on Monday by videoconference with some European pioneers, among whom was the head of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez.
The United States along with its European partners are pushing the display that they are united even with the Russian challenge. However, there is a certain division of labor.
From Washington, it is said that everything is prepared to react militarily to Russia in the event of an attack in Ukraine, while the European chancelleries demand that diplomacy be carried out.
Protection of the sovereignty of Ukraine
Antony Blinken assured that they have clarified what are the essential norms that they focus on, including the dominance of Ukraine and the safeguarding of its regional integrity, as well as the right of states to choose their alliance and security agreements.
The Secretary of State in Washington insisted that NATO's gateways remain open. Sovereign states are those that request registration in the Atlantic Alliance. Therefore, Russia cannot reject who enters and who does not.
However, he reiterated that the text says that there is room to cooperate in advancing the development of security for all, including Russia.
Russia's first reaction has been a bit pessimistic, but at the same time cautious. Putin will concentrate on the archive and the decision that is made from now on will depend on him.
127,000 Russian soldiers are on the Ukrainian line. Both in the Russian zone and in Belarus, who is associated with Russia.
The Pentagon has assigned 8,500 soldiers on guard duty. Some European nations, including Spain, have come forward to cooperate in NATO moves to show Russia that the eastern flank is not neglected.
In turn, Blinken hopes to have a conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov before too much time has passed to discuss what has been put into writing.
Just a few hours earlier, the Russian strategist said in the Duma, that in the event that there is no valuable reaction and the West continues with its line of force, at that time (as the president has said in various events) Moscow would take the appropriate answers immediately.
He reiterated that it is important that the whole world must start from the agreement that the security of Russia and its people are an absolute necessity.
The US reaction is similarly referred to as talks that include Russians and Ukrainians, along with France and Germany, which is called the Normandy format, are taking place in Paris.
They have agreed to a truce in Donbas and to proceed to talks in about fourteen days, in Berlin. Thus, French President Emmanuel Macron, who has set himself up as a peacemaker, plans to speak by phone on Friday with the Russian pioneer Vladimir Putin.
