Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a statement for the first time on the aggressive attitude of the Russian military against Ukraine. He addressed a news conference in Moscow after a five-hour meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and spoke on Russia-Ukraine tensions. During this, he also told the reasons for the dispute between the two countries and its escalation.
What is Russia's demand for Ukraine?
Putin said it was clear that Western countries had ignored Russia's demands that the US-NATO alliance would not expand to Ukraine and other ex-Soviet countries and that offensive weapons near Russia's border were will not deploy. That is, Russia is directly seeking guarantees from America and NATO that Ukraine will never join NATO. Apart from this, he is also adamant about the demand for the withdrawal of NATO security forces from Eastern Europe on the Ukrainian border. At the same time, America and NATO feel that Russia is looking for an opportunity to attack Ukraine.
Western countries blamed for increasing tension
Putin made it clear that Russia's tensions with Ukraine are due to the US and its allies ignoring Russia's key security demands. The Russian President said that the Kremlin (Russia's Ministry of Defense) is still studying the response of the US and NATO to the security demands, which they received last week. However, he said he was open to more talks to ease tensions.
Earlier on Tuesday, Russian officials denied reports that Moscow had sent a response to Washington on a US proposal to ease the Ukraine crisis. On Monday, there were sharp allegations and counter-allegations between the two countries in the Security Council. At the same time, rounds of meetings are going on in this regard in Moscow, the capital of Russia, and Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
