“President Putin consistently to his interlocutors, including American representatives, brings our position on the inadmissibility of NATO expansion to the east from the point of view of the strategic interests of the Russian Federation. We are glad that these explanations of the president find their understanding, including in Washington,” he said.
The speaker of the Kremlin commented on the statement of the special Supervisor Trump that the concern of Russia is allegedly “justified” by the expansion of NATO to the east.
“Of course, this impresses us very much from the point of view of the mediation role that Washington continues,” Peskov noted.
At the same time, he refused to publicly talk about the “subtle nuances of this topic”, emphasizing that the Russian Federation “considers it necessary to” do this only during closed contacts.
According to him, the recent statements of KELLLOL can be considered the result of closed negotiations.
