NATO and Russia on Friday will also be on wallpaper in Geneva, Switzerland, where the Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov meets with the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Russia, for its part, presented the United States with an eight-point list of demands in December, urging Washington to commit to reducing arms in several US allies, halting NATO’s possible NATO membership and, above all, ensuring that Ukraine never joins NATO.

Russia has demanded a written response from the United States. Lavrov clarified earlier this week that he wants written answers to every claim.

Blinken, on the other hand, stated during his recent visit to Ukraine that he does not intend to give Lavrov any paper in Geneva.
