MOSCOW, December 18/ Sputnik Radio. The White House is preparing to respond to Russia's proposals on security guarantees in the near future. According to Bloomberg, citing a senior representative of the US administration, the US reaction will follow next week.
At the same time, according to the official, Washington considers a number of Moscow's initiatives useful, and some unacceptable.
On Friday, Russia handed over to the United States and other NATO countries drafts of a security guarantee treaty.
Among other things, Moscow offered Washington and its allies to guarantee the non-expansion of the alliance into the territory of Ukraine, as well as to agree to the mutual non-deployment of missiles in the areas of destruction of each other's territory.
Earlier, Sputnik radio reported that the Russian Foreign Ministry had calculated the costs of Western countries for the militarization of Ukraine.
