In their response to Russian proposals on security guarantees, the US and NATO, on the one hand, propose to restore relations and the work of the embassies closed last year. On the other hand, they threaten to deploy more troops in Eastern Europe in the event of “Russian aggression against Ukraine.” This is stated in the text published by the Spanish newspaper El Pais.
The United States is ready to discuss mutual obligations with Russia to limit the deployment of offensive missile systems and forces in Ukraine, as well as to “take a number of confidence-building measures” in the military sphere: in particular, to establish an emergency contact line that will help prevent incidents in the air and at sea .

In addition, the United States is ready to discuss mutual transparency measures and mutual commitments by both Washington and Moscow to limit the deployment of offensive missile systems and permanent forces with a combat mission on the territory of Ukraine.
