The U.S. State department declined to comment on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reference to the second document, NATO said that it never comments on \u201calleged leaks.\u201d But the text closely reflects statements made to the media last week by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg as he laid out the 30-nation military organization\u2019s position on Russia\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. document, marked as a confidential \u201cnon-paper,\u201d said that the United States would be willing to discuss in consultation with its NATO partners \u201ca transparency mechanism to confirm the absences of Tomahawk cruise missiles at Aegis Ashore sites in Romania and Poland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That would happen on condition that Russia \u201coffers reciprocal transparency measures on two ground-launched missiles bases of our choosing in Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aegis Ashore is a system for defending against short- or intermediate-range missiles. Russia argues the site in Romania could be easily adapted to fire cruise missiles instead of interceptors, which ram their target and do not carry warheads, a claim that Washington has denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2022\/01\/31\/pentagon-discussing-more-europe-deployments-amid-russia-ukraine-tension\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3260259.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Pentagon discussing more Europe deployments amid Russia-Ukraine tension<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">More units could be put on alert for possible individual deployments.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian President Vladimir Putin again mentioned the possibility Tuesday, saying that \u201cthere are MK-41 launchers there that could be configured for firing Tomahawks.\u201d He said they \u201care offensive systems that could reach thousands of kilometers into our territory. Isn\u2019t that a threat to us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. document said Washington would have to consult with NATO allies on the potential offer, particularly with Romania and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on the leaked documents, saying only that \u201cwe didn\u2019t release anything.\u201d In comments to the state RIA Novosti news agency, Russia\u2019s Foreign Ministry also refused to confirm or deny that the documents published by El Pais were authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine have mounted in recent months, after Putin deployed more than 100,000 troops to areas near Ukraine\u2019s borders, including in neighboring Belarus, backed by tanks, artillery, helicopters and warplanes. Russian officials have insisted that Moscow has no intention of invading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. underlined after its written proposals in the leaked document that \u201cprogress can only be achieved on these issues in an environment of de-escalation with respect to Russia\u2019s threatening actions towards Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his first public remarks on the standoff in more than a month, Putin on Tuesday accused the U.S. and its allies of ignoring Russia\u2019s central security demands but he said that Moscow is willing to talk more to ease tensions over Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His remarks suggested that a potential Russian invasion may not be imminent and that at least one more round of diplomacy is likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After talks in Kyiv Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte underlined that \u201cit is essential for dialogue to continue.\u201d If not, Rutte, said, \u201cit is clear that further aggression against Ukraine will have serious consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2021\/11\/20\/russia-preparing-to-attack-ukraine-by-late-january-ukraine-defense-intelligence-agency-chief\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21113343743431.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Russia preparing to attack Ukraine by late January: Ukraine defense intelligence agency chief<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Russia is building toward the ability to carry out an attack on Ukraine, the head of it&#039;s defense intelligence agency told Military Times.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia\u2019s military buildup has already taken a toll on Ukraine\u2019s economy, but Zelenskyy said his government has taken steps to calm the markets and the local currency, the hryvnia. He said Ukraine has also boosted its combat and armed forces capabilities, but underlined that \u201cwe think only about peace and de-occupation of (our) territories, solely through diplomatic means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notable in its absence from the leaked documents is any mention of Ukraine\u2019s hopes of joining NATO. Putin has demanded that NATO stop taking in any new members and withdraw its troops and equipment from countries that joined the alliance since 1997, almost half its ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the leaked document linked to NATO, the 30 allies said they \u201creaffirm our commitment to NATO\u2019s Open Door policy,\u201d without specifically mentioning Ukraine. Under Article 10 of NATO\u2019s founding treaty, other European countries may be invited in if they further the goals of European security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a NATO summit in 2008, NATO leaders said that they welcomed \u201cUkraine\u2019s and Georgia\u2019s Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO,\u201d adding: \u201cWe agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia invaded Georgia later that year, and in 2014 annexed Ukraine\u2019s Crimean Peninsula. Around 14,000 people have been killed in the conflict that still simmers in eastern Ukraine. Their membership plans have been on hold for years, although NATO continues to support them and promote reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Litvinova reported from Moscow.
