The West reacted unconstructively to Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposals for a new security architecture and resolution of the situation in Ukraine. "There is a very, very large amount of official reaction that is inherently unconstructive. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov to TASS.
A day before, in a meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Russian leader spoke about the collapse of the previous Euro-Atlantic security system and proposed the construction of a new architecture that takes into account the interests of all countries on the continent.< /p>
Putin also named the conditions for resolving the situation in Ukraine. Among them are the withdrawal of Ukrainian armed forces from Donbass and Novorossiya and Kiev's refusal to join NATO. In addition, Russia considers it necessary to lift all Western sanctions against it and establish a neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status for Ukraine.
In a conversation with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin Peskov said that he does not know what theses the head of state will present to the Russian Foreign Ministry. “I am one man's press secretary,” he added, when asked if anyone else knew about the president's planned remarks.
