Russian Delegation in Geneva: West losing art of deal making – tell us not to make ultimatums while giving Russia ultimatums

Here’s what else has been summed up by the Russian side who left the talks a little earlier:

▪️Talks are not without hope. Basis there for reaching agreements with the US and NATO. Moscow does not intend to attack Ukraine

▪️Russia will judge further steps on security guarantees after NATO and OSCE talks on Jan 12 & 13

▪️NATO should abandon the “territory development” of the states that entered the alliance after 1997. The US disagreed the organization should be limited in accepting new states

▪️Moscow and Washington discussed mutual limitations on military drills in Europe. The US is also open to discuss deployment of ballistic missiles in the region

▪️Russia-NATO meeting not happened since 2019, because we can’t find a mutual agenda to discuss. Need to assess if prospect for future steps
