Russia welcomes positive US reaction to its security proposals that both sides are going to discuss next month but Washington says talks must be based on 'reciprocity'
US, Russia strike a conciliatory tone ahead of crucial January talks over Moscow's security guarantees that Washington says it's ready to discuss but talks must be based on"reciprocity."
"The start of negotiations announced January will allow us to move forward," President Vladimir Putin said at his annual end-of-year press conference on Thursday, adding that representatives from both sides have been appointed. Also on Thursday, a senior US official said that Washington is "ready" for diplomacy talks with Moscow in Geneva that could start within weeks as soon as early January "through "multiple channels."
Moscow presented the West with sweeping security demands last week, saying NATO must not admit new members and seeking to bar the United States from establishing new bases in former Soviet republics.
