Russian foreign ministry has published its 11 page! official response to US letter on security guarantees. As expected, it says Russia has been ignored, US isn’t treating concerns seriously, gives little away.
The document in pretty hardline form asks for a new "security equation,” withdrawal of all US troops and weapons from C, E, SE Europe, Baltic, and “concrete legally binding proposals from US and NATO not to further expand alliance eastwards”
The response was handed to Ambassador Sullivan at the same time that he was informed his deputy would be declared persona non grata. #deescalation
The response reads: “Ultimatums to withdraw troops from specific areas of Russian territory, accompanied by threats of tougher sanctions, are unacceptable and undermine prospects for reaching real agreement"
