Russia establishes conditions for peaceful coexistence with the US and NATO
In order to achieve a peaceful coexistence with the US and NATO, Russia has put on the table conditions relating, mainly, to military activity in Ukraine and the non-deployment of nuclear weapons abroad
This Friday, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Riabkov, communicated the conditions of the country to maintain a peaceful coexistence with NATO and the United States. These requirements are based on the need not to repeat events of the past, respect the non-aggression pact, avoid the deployment of nuclear weapons as well as military activity in Ukraine.
Riabkov pointed out: “When our relations, because of Washington, approach a critical point, it is necessary in the most urgent way to take concrete steps to reduce the degree of confrontation.”
He highlighted in Moscow the conditions to put an end to the tensions generated by the possible inclusion of Ukraine in the Atlantic Alliance, with the corresponding mobilization of Russian troops to the border. According to the Kremlin, this claim constitutes “a non-negotiable red line.”
Russia sets conditions for the US and NATO
On the issue of nuclear weapons, which directly involves the US, the Russian government proposes a new treaty to prevent the deployment of such weapons outside the borders of the two countries. In addition, it proposes a commitment by both parties to destroy the existing infrastructures for nuclear weapons, as well as the suspension of tests.
Russia has also drafted an agreement with at least nine requests to NATO, particularly aimed at the bloc “desisting from all military activity on the territory of Ukraine and several countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.”
Putin, for his part, remains firm in his anti-war position manifested on December 7 during the virtual summit with the president of the United States, Joe Biden. The Russian president insists on a kind of new “non-aggression pact” for peaceful coexistence, without armed conflicts, short and medium-range missiles, strategic bombers or military infrastructures that constitute a reason for confrontation between nations.
