Firstly, it is necessary that they maintain this state as much as possible, so that it does not occur to them to arrange some conflict on our western borders that we do not need, and we do not need conflicts," Putin said.
"And secondly, it is necessary to raise the question, Sergey Viktorovich (Lavrov), to seek to provide Russia with serious long-term guarantees to ensure our security in this area," he added.
