U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking from Washington and Brussels, respectively, described their written responses to Moscow as a test of whether President Vladimir Putin is seriously interested in a diplomatic solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia has encircled Ukraine with more than 100,000 troops along the border, and new, combat-ready forces continue to stream into Russian ally Belarus, which also borders Ukraine and NATO member Poland, said Stoltenberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington\u2019s missive, delivered by the U.S. ambassador in Moscow, is a rebuke to Russian demands for a sphere of influence in which its neighbors would be forced to forswear a future aligned with the West. Also off the table for Washington are Russian requests that NATO remove its troops and equipment from its eastern alliance members Romania and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. government has instead offered \u201ctransparency measures regarding force posture in Ukraine,\u201d Blinken told reporters on Wednesday. In addition, U.S. and NATO officials proposed new rules for all sides on transparency in military exercises, including closing a loophole that excludes snap exercises from existing reporting requirements, Stoltenberg said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington and Brussels are also offering new talks on arms control, nuclear weapons reduction, rules for intermediate-range missiles in the wider European theater, and a reinvigoration of the NATO-Russia Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blinken said he expects to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the coming days to discuss the proposals. Stoltenberg told reporters he envisions a \u201cseries of meetings\u201d of the NATO-Russia Council on disarmament and military-exercise transparency. He also called on Russia to withdraw its forces from Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, where they are deployed without those governments\u2019 consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As described, the Western responses \u2014 Blinken said Washington\u2019s letter won\u2019t be made public \u2014 amount to an amalgamation of what leaders have been telegraphing for weeks. What\u2019s new is a pronounced focus on new talks and new channels of communication in an apparent effort to preempt Russia from arguing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2022\/01\/25\/200m-in-javelins-other-anti-armor-systems-grenade-launchers-and-more-to-ukraine-dod\/\">United States<\/a> and NATO failed to exhaust diplomacy first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for increased transparency in military drills, Russia has previously shied away from such measures, instead using ambiguity about exercise objectives to keep NATO guessing. Moscow also has shown little interest in the past to engage in the NATO-Russia Council format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. and NATO officials have separately delivered
