The United States will present its own list of concerns about Russia's actions. State Department spokesman Ned Price said this at a briefing, quoted by TASS.
“Russia presented its list of concerns about the actions of the US and NATO. We intend, together with our European allies and partners, to present our concerns about Russia's actions, which we believe are detrimental to our common interests and values, ”he said.
He also noted that the United States did not see any action from Russia that would ease concerns. At the same time, Price expressed his readiness for diplomatic work with the Russian Federation, but added that he could not yet report on specific plans.
On December 20, aides to the presidents of Russia and the United States, Yuri Ushakov and Jake Sullivan, held a telephone conversation, during which they discussed security guarantees.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that Washington was preparing countermeasures in case of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. He noted that US President Joe Biden “clearly told” his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that America “is considering and ready to take various steps that it had previously refrained from.”
