Russia proposed that NATO countries conclude a non-aggression pact in exchange for security guarantees.
Moscow is ready to conclude bilateral agreements on mutual non-aggression with individual NATO countries. In return, they will be able to receive "additional personal security guarantees" from Russia, Alexei Drovinin, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's foreign policy planning department, said at a security conference in Moscow.
He presented 3 options for agreements between Russia and European countries.
The first is the creation of a joint defense alliance or the conclusion of bilateral agreements on mutual military assistance on the model of agreements between Russia and Belarus and the DPRK.
The second is political duties not to help each other's opponents in case of aggression. Moscow concluded a similar agreement with Iran.
The third is bilateral treaties on mutual non-aggression.
The topic of a new European security architecture has become one of the main topics in the negotiations on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, confirmed the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, but did not reveal the details of the discussion.
At the same time, some European politicians oppose negotiations on a new security system before the ceasefire in Ukraine. Washington, on the contrary, is ready to discuss such proposals now.
