Russia offers a non-aggression pact with NATO countries in exchange for security guarantees.
Moscow is ready to conclude bilateral non-aggression pacts with individual NATO countries. In return, they can receive "additional personal security guarantees" from Russia, Alexei Drovinin, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's foreign policy planning department, told a security conference in Moscow.
He presented 3 options for agreements between Russia and European countries.

Second - political commitments not to assist each other's opponents in the event of aggression. Moscow concluded a similar agreement with Iran.
Third - bilateral non-aggression agreements.
