Putin addressed the issue during his 17th big annual press conference, answering a question from a SkyNews correspondent on security guarantees and lack of intention to attack Ukraine or other sovereign states, Ukrinform reports.
“Our actions will not depend on the course of the negotiations, but on whether Russia's security is unconditionally ensured, today and in the historical perspective. We have spoken loud and clear that NATO's further eastward expansion is unacceptable. What can’t be understood here? Are we deploying missiles near the borders of the United States? No. It was the United States with its missiles that came to our house, they are already on the threshold of our home,” Putin said.
