ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) - In December 2021, Russia presented draft treaties to NATO and the US outlining security demands. These proposals included preventing Ukraine and other former Soviet states from joining NATO and withdrawing NATO troops and weapons from Central and Eastern Europe.
The current situation might not have happened if
NATO had discussed with Russia its draft treaty on security guarantees in 2021, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told RIA Novosti.
"Well, I remember those times. I think that what was missing there is a serious discussion," Szijjarto said, commenting on whether it was a mistake by NATO countries to abandon the Russian proposal on security guarantees made in December 2021.
The minister noted that he always believes in discussion and dialogue.
"These discussions have not taken place, unfortunately. Well, now we are more than three years after or almost three years after, so it might not make sense what I say now, but I wish those dialogues had taken place. Because if they had taken place, we might not be in a situation where we are right now," Szijjarto said.
NATO and the US perceived the Russian draft treaty on security guarantees as an ultimatum, and then rejected the demands on January 26, 2022.
