Brussels [Belgium], December 29 (ANI/Sputnik): EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called Russia's demands about security guarantees and about stopping the EU and NATO's eastward expansion unacceptable.

He said the Russian side for the first time "presented its agenda in written form," which had never happened before. "Only the winners do this: they say that this and that are my conditions," the EU foreign policy chief said.
On December 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published security suggestions for the US and NATO. The documents have already been handed to Washington and its allies. One of the points suggests NATO provides guarantees of non-expansion into Ukrainian territory.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told Sputnik that if NATO and the US do not respond to Russia's demand for security guarantees, it could lead to a new confrontation. (ANI/Sputnik)
