Putin accuses the US of trying to draw Russia into conflict

Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has commented for the first time in regards to the Russia vs Ukraine crisis and has suggested that the Ukrainian invasion by Russia may not be imminent. 

On Tuesday, the Russian President accused the United States of America and its allies of ignoring Russia’s top security demands and also suggested that Moscow is willing to talk more to ease out the tensions over the Ukraine issue. These were the first comments on the standoff in more than a month by Putin, where he also suggested that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia may not be imminent. He further added that one more round of diplomacy talks is most likely to take place. 

Russia is also supposed to respond to the proposal by the United States for negotiations on the demands of Moscow. Following the response, the Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergey Lavrov and the United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken are expected to speak. Both the dignitaries spoke on Tuesday as well and reiterated their positions that were put forward by Putin and President of the US, Joe Biden. As per the statement by the White House, Biden and Putin could speak once the US gets a response from Russia.

Although Putin has stated that the Kremlin is still examining the US and the NATO’s response to the demands of Russian Security that it received last week, he believes that the West has ignored the demands of Russia of not expanding NATO to Ukraine and other ex-Soviet countries, and to also refrain from the deployment of offensive weapons near Russia along with the rolling back of its deployments to Eastern Europe.

The President of Russia has also argued that it is possible to negotiate to put an end to the standoff if the interests of all the parties including the security concerns of Russia are taken into consideration. He mentioned that he hopes to find a solution, although it is not going to be easy. 

Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border which has led to the fueling of the fears of invasion from the nation, even though it has denied any intention of attacking Ukraine. The key demands of Russia have been denied by the US and its allies. They have argued that like any other nation, Ukraine holds the right to choose its alliances.
