Russia has repeatedly demanded security guarantees from Western nations regarding NATO enlargement and its western borders.
MOSCOW, August 10. /TASS/. Moscow views legally binding security guarantees for Russia from the West as a viable option, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said in an interview with TASS.
"We are confident that a diplomatic settlement of the situation around Ukraine is possible, provided there is the necessary political will. What is needed, among other things, are concrete, legally binding security guarantees for Russia, which would prevent any future aggression by the collective West on our western borders," he said.
"At this stage, we have to consider daily acts of terror committed by the Kiev regime against civilians, civilian infrastructure of our country and now against international infrastructure as well. This is a shortsighted approach that only aggravates their situation," the deputy foreign minister added.
