Russian officials have denied reports that Moscow has sent a written response to Washington on a US proposal to ease the Ukraine crisis. Earlier, there were sharp allegations and counter-allegations between the two countries in the Security Council. At the same time, rounds of meetings are going on in this regard in Moscow, the capital of Russia and Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
Russia urges Ukraine not to join NATO
Russia is seeking legally binding guarantees from the US and NATO that Ukraine will never join NATO. Apart from this, Russia demands that the deployment of NATO weapons near its borders should be stopped and NATO forces withdraw from Eastern Europe. At the same time, America and NATO feel that Russia can attack Ukraine.
America said Russia sent response
Washington provided Moscow with a written response to the demands, and three Biden administration officials said the Russian government had sent a written response to the US proposals. However, on the other hand, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said that this is ‘not true’. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that “confusion” has arisen in this regard and how Russia’s response to the US proposals is still under consideration.
US officials gave information
Peskov said Western officials may have expressed views on a slightly different issue. Earlier, US officials said on condition of anonymity that Moscow had sent a written response to Washington on a US proposal to ease the Ukraine crisis. A foreign ministry official declined to elaborate on Russia’s response, saying it would not be appropriate to expose the talks publicly and left it to Russia to share its response with the public.
Western countries accused of increasing tension
Meanwhile, Russia accused the West of escalating tensions over Ukraine and said the US brought the Nazis to power in Kiev. Moscow made the remarks at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, where there was heated debate between representatives of Russia and the United States. US Ambassador Linda Thomas Greenfield hit back, saying Russia was deploying more than 100,000 troops to the Ukraine border, the “largest military gathering” in Europe in decades. There has also been an increase in Russia’s cyber attacks and spreading false information.
conversation failed
He said that ‘they are trying to show Ukraine and Western countries as attackers without any concrete facts and grounds, so that as an excuse to attack. Talks between the US and Russia to reduce this crisis have so far failed and Western countries say that Moscow is preparing to attack. At the same time, Russia has denied planning the attack. Russian ambassador Vasily Nebenzia has accused the Biden administration of “increasing tensions and inciting” he said, looking at Thomas Greenfield and saying you want it. You are waiting for this to happen.
America accused of interfering
He accused the US of ousting the pro-Kremlin president from power in Kiev in 2014. This heated debate in the Security Council took place at a time when Moscow’s attempt to block the meeting failed. This was the first open session where all the major sides of the Ukraine crisis spoke publicly. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin met Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Moscow and said in his inaugural address that the Kremlin’s security demands would be discussed. At the same time, Orban insisted that no European leader wanted a war in the region. On the other hand, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is going to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kiev.
