US Responds to Putin's Comments on Ignored Demands

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Permanent Representative to the UN, assessed Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement regarding the neglect of Russian demands for NATO not to expand eastward in an interview with MSNBC. Gazeta.ru reports on this situation.

She noted that the Russian leader's words indicate that discussions between the parties continue. “We were pleased yesterday to have a UN Security Council meeting to hear from Russia about what they are doing in Ukraine. The Council called on them to pursue a diplomatic path,” the diplomat said.
