Skynews’s Facebook and Twitter observers agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin's demand to guarantee the country's security.
The Russian leader said at a press conference that Moscow didn't threaten anyone, unlike the West. Vladimir Putin also reminded that NATO was continuing its expansion to the East and he called for "unconditional security for Russia".
Many readers found Putin's demands logical.
"Russia is not going to place its missiles on the US porch, while NATO countries intend to place missiles a few minutes from the Kremlin," the user whitehallgate1 said.
According to the reader john44023, the West does not give Moscow any guarantees, while it itself demands them.
The commentator Freespeechmarty believes that the only threat of war comes from Britain, the US, Ukraine and Germany. He also stressed that Moscow wants peace, not conflict.
The observer Lin Cassidy supported Putin and stated that the US is seeking to deploy its military forces near Russia’s borders. "Russia must bring troops into Mexico! You'll see how they like it!" she added
