According to the agency, the administration of US President Joe Biden has told the Kremlin that it is ready to discuss the possibility of providing Russian Federation experts with the opportunity to verify the absence of Tomahawk attack cruise missiles at NATO missile defense bases. . . Romania. This is Poland. That said, the United States wants to allay Moscow's suspicions and fears that Tomahawk missiles could be used to attack Russia. An agreement on the issue will be reached only after talks with allies, especially Poland and Romania, according to a statement from the agency. At the same time, according to sources quoted by the agency, the United States expects Russia to respond similarly and provide similar information about some Russian bases where ground-to-ground weapons are available.
Foreign Minister Bogdan Orescu said last week that Romania would have no problem with visiting the Russian Federation's Davselo base, as "we have nothing to hide", but stressed that such a system - what - would be part of the proposed transparency system. NATO - If it is conducted on a reciprocal basis, the Allies should have the right, instead, to inspect the missile bases on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Moscow has denied that Romania and Poland's anti-missile systems could be used to launch cruise missiles into Russia, a claim denied by the United States. The inspections are expected to reassure Russia that the launchers could not be used for offensive purposes. The US proposal calls for reciprocal action by Russia, which the US has not publicly announced.
Polish officials say the government is open to missile defense inspections, provided Russia allows inspections of Russian missiles in Kaliningrad, a heavily armed Russian military base in the Baltic Sea on the border between Poland and Lithuania.
Putin: Missile launchers in Romania and Poland pose threat to Russia and US seeks to drag Russia into war
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Tuesday, accused the West of ignoring his security offer.
RIA Novosti quoted Vladimir Putin as saying, "It is already clear that the US side has ignored Russia's fundamental concerns."
In a joint news conference after his talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the Russian president said Moscow was carefully studying the responses received from the United States and NATO on security guarantee proposals on January 26.
"But it is already clear, as I have told the Prime Minister, that Russia's fundamental concerns have been ignored. We have not seen adequate consideration of the three main requirements," Putin said.
The Russian president called for the "expansion" of NATO, the withdrawal of armed forces from Russia's borders, and the return to NATO's military infrastructure in 1997, before the alliance expanded into the former Soviet Union.
"Rocket launchers from Romania and Poland pose a threat to Russia," Putin said.
"Ignoring our concerns, the United States and NATO countries are violating the right to choose how to secure themselves independently," Putin said. It's just part of the security equation, he said.
"The second part says that it is impossible to allow security to be strengthened at the expense of the safety of others," he added.
The Kremlin leader's statement demonstrated a worldview in which Russia is constantly being forced to defend itself against an aggressive and hostile United States.
Putin said Washington was not primarily concerned with Ukraine's security, but with Russia's sanctions.
In this sense, Ukraine itself is a tool to achieve this goal. This can be done in various ways, to push us into a kind of armed conflict and with the help of their allies in Europe, we are now talking about the strict sanctions that are being imposed on the United States.
Putin said he had talked with the Hungarian prime minister about relations between Russia and the European Union and the situation in Ukraine, as well as systematic violations of human rights in neighboring countries.
"When we consider international issues, we also discuss the current state of relations between Russia and the European Union," Putin said.
"Of course, we discussed the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine and the situation in Ukraine as a whole, including human rights, which were deliberately violated there," Putin said, referring to the situation of the Russian minority in Ukraine.
Putin, on the other hand, says Russia has been deceived by its promise that NATO will not expand "an inch" earlier.
We need to find a way to ensure the interests and security of the participants in this process: Ukraine, European countries, and Russia. "Mentioning the offer made to the West," Putin said.
On the possibility of Ukraine's integration into NATO, Putin answered a question, expressing concern that once a recognition of joining a military alliance, Ukraine could try to reclaim Crimea, which he claimed was documented in Ukrainian doctrine that it would be returned. Russia.
He noted that Crimea was a sovereign territory of Russia, about which all talks were closed.
"It is written in the documents of Ukraine's doctrine that they will return Crimea (...). It is not what they say to the public, but what is written in the documents.
Let's imagine that Ukraine is a NATO member, full of weapons and modern offensive systems like Poland and Romania - who will stop it? And Putin said that the operation has started in Crimea and now I am not even talking about Donbas.
