But he said it was clear that the West has ignored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/01\/26\/russia-threatens-retaliation-if-ukraine-demands-not-met\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russian demands that NATO not expand to Ukraine and other ex-Soviet nations<\/a>, refrain from deploying offensive weapons near Russia and roll back its deployments to Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin argued that it\u2019s possible to negotiate an end to the standoff if the interests of all parties, including Russia\u2019s security concerns, are taken into account. \u201cI hope that we will eventually find a solution, although we realize that it\u2019s not going to be easy,\u201d Putin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia has amassed over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/01\/20\/satellite-images-show-more-russian-troops-equipment-near-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">100,000 troops along the border of Ukraine<\/a>, fueling fears of an invasion. It has denied any intention to attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington and its allies have rejected Moscow\u2019s key demands. They emphasize that Ukraine, like any other nation, has the right to choose alliances, although it is not a NATO member now and is unlikely to join any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin said the Western allies\u2019 refusal to meet Russia\u2019s demands violates their obligations on the integrity of security for all nations. He warned that a Ukrainian accession to NATO could lead to a situation where Ukraine launches military action to reclaim control over Russian-annexed Crimea or areas controlled by Russia-backed separatists in the country\u2019s east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImagine that Ukraine becomes a NATO member and launches those military operations,\u201d Putin said. \u201cShould we fight NATO then?
