\nThe US and NATO ignored Moscow\u2019s principal concerns in their responses to the country\u2019s proposals on security guarantees, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
\nThough the Russian leadership is still examining the documents it received from Washington and Brussels, it is clear that they lack an adequate response to Moscow\u2019s three key demands, Putin said at a news conference after a meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
\nSpeaking in Moscow, Putin noted that these three demands were for NATO to stop expanding eastward, written guarantees against the deployment of strike weapons near Russia\u2019s borders, and the return of NATO\u2019s military infrastructure in Europe to their 1997 positions.
\nSpeaking about the situation in Ukraine amid increased tensions, Putin said that by posing threats against Russia, this country creates risks for itself.
\nHe said Ukraine was a tool being used to contain Russia for the US, accusing Washington of trying to engage Moscow in an armed conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
