Washington’s response to Russian security guarantee proposals cannot satisfy Moscow, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting with President Putin on Monday, TASS reported.

"The US response consists of two parts. The first part reacts to the three key problems that we specified - NATO’s non-expansion, non-deployment of strike weapons threatening us, and in general the return of the military and military-technical configuration in Europe to the positions of 1997, when the Russia-NATO Founding Act was signed, in which the task to ensure the indivisibility of security was mentioned for the first part in this format," Lavrov said. "The answer to these questions is negative, of course it cannot satisfy us," he stressed.

According to the minister, Russia has carefully analyzed the responses it received from the US and NATO to Moscow's proposals on security guarantees.

"The responses were delivered to us on January 25: a US response and a NATO response," Lavrov said. "We studied them closely with our colleagues in an interagency format."

"We are most interested in the US response because everyone knows who plays the main role in these issues in the Western camp," the foreign minister said.

Lavrov also said Russia's draft response to the West's proposal on security guarantees was formulated on 10 pages, responding to the head of state's question as to whether Russia's draft response to Washington and Brussels' proposals was ready.
