Deputy Foreign Ministry Sergey Ryabkov explained US discomfort at the negotiations in Geneva. His words lead RIA Novosti.
Deputy Minister believes that Washington representatives are uncomfortable to discuss security guarantees, as they feel “Eyes and Ears” of Russian Rusophobes on NATO.
Earlier Ryabkov rated the first part of the negotiations in Geneva. According to him, the conversation with the Americans was complicated, but a business, and the meeting in general was awesome.
In mid-December 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia published projects of the Russian Federation with NATO and the United States on security guarantees in Europe. The document, in particular, states that Washington should not create military bases in the territories of the former countries of the USSR not included in NATO. The United States also did not recommend using their infrastructure to keep any military activities and develop bilateral military cooperation with them.
