Russia submits new security guarantee proposals to U.S.

Russia has submitted to the United States additional proposals regarding collective security guarantees, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced during an embassy roundtable discussion on the settlement in Ukraine.

"We submitted additional proposals to our American colleagues regarding collective security guarantees. We understand that when discussing security guarantees, we cannot focus on Ukraine alone," Sergey Lavrov said.

The Russian FM said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff during their most recent meeting cleared up all misunderstandings between Moscow and Washington that emerged during a pause following the Alaska Summit.

According to him, all confusing points and misunderstandings have been eliminated.

"And the understandings reached in Anchorage are based on the proposals that President Putin put forward in June 2024 regarding the principles of resolving the Ukrainian conflict," Sergey Lavrov said.

In early  December, Russian President Putin and special envoy of the American leader Steve Witkoff held negotiations in Moscow.
