NATO’s doors to remain open, US says in response to Russian proposals, tass.com

The US will stand by the NATO’s open doors policy, but is prepared to hold talks with Russia on arms control in Europe and transparency of military exercises. That’s according to the US written response to Russia’s security proposals that was outlined by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a news conference on Wednesday.

Blinken spokes about the broad outlines of the US replies. The Americans won’t make them public and are urging Russia to do the same. The US says the response isn’t a formal document but a set of ideas for further discussion, if Russia wants to continue dialogue.

”There’s no doubt in my mind that if Russia were to approach this seriously, and in a spirit of reciprocity, with the determination to enhance collective security for all of us, there are very positive things in this document that should be pursued,” he said. Läs artikel
