WASHINGTON, February 16. /TASS/. The United States will not give up its
basic principle that every country is free to choose their alliances, US
President Joe Biden said in the White House.
In his words, the United States has put on the table concrete ideas to
establish a security environment in Europe.
"We’re proposing new arms control measures, new transparency measures, new
strategic stability measures. These measures would apply to all parties —
NATO and Russia alike," Biden said.
He described those initiatives as practical, results-oriented steps that can
advance common security.
"We will not sacrifice basic principles, though. Nations have a right to
sovereignty and territorial integrity. They have the freedom to set their
own course and choose with whom they will associate," the US leader said.
Concerns over Moscow’s alleged preparations for an invasion into Ukraine
have become more and more frequent in the West and in Kiev recently. Kremlin
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov castigated these statements as an empty and
groundless escalation of tension, emphasizing that Russia posed no threat to
anyone. At the same time, the Kremlin press secretary did not rule out
possible provocations to justify such claims and warned that the attempts to
resolve the Ukrainian conflict by force would carry extremely serious
consequences. |
