Russia is demanding that the U.S. and NATO deny Ukraine membership into the alliance and asking for a rollback in military deployments, according to draft security agreements released Friday.
The Russian Foreign Ministry released two documents that were given to the U.S. during a meeting in Moscow on Wednesday.
In a press release, the ministry said U.S. officials were "given detailed explanations" of the treaties, adding that it hopes Washington will "enter serious talks with Russia in the near future."
A White House official told The Hill, "We are prepared to discuss matters of security and strategic concern with Russia"
"We are having discussions with European allies and partners, and will be in touch with the Russian government on next steps soon," the official said.
The documents come as the U.S. and allies raise alarms about Russia massing tens of thousands of troops near its border with Ukraine, sparking fears of a possible invasion similar to when Moscow annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014.
Moscow, meanwhile, says it's worried about Ukraine's buildup of troops in the region. Earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would seek "reliable and long-term security guarantees" to prevent any NATO movements that would threaten the region.

Moscow, meanwhile, says it’s worried about Ukraine’s buildup of troops in the region.
Russia wants to attack Ukraine and believes it has a right not to be opposed. “Everyone bow down to Tsar Putin.”
Not exactly. Russia already invaded Ukraine. Now they are just stirring the pot and gaslighting because Biden is POTUS.
I believe NATO membership is a bridge too far, but Ukraine should be given weapons, military training and military intelligence.
Well, I suppose what I said was inaccurate. I should have said Russia wants to attack Ukraine again.
Russia is not going to let anything threaten its Sevastapol base. Period. Not under any circumstances. These fools are trying to start a war to replace Afghanistan. This is about keeping the arms industry in clover. Biden and his gang a incredibly stupid to think that Russia will back down
It’s clever gaslighting by the Putinists. Don’t let them get away with it. Cheers.
“ Moscow, meanwhile, says it’s worried about Ukraine’s buildup of troops in the region. “
Is Moscow afraid that Ukraine will invade Russia and take it over?
Why was threatening? Nothing was happening until the Russkies started massing forces.
“Who” not “Why”***
Not to disagree with you, but this bunch lost 86 billion worth of ordnance in Afghanistan. I wouldn't trust them to get it right this time.
I don't have an answer for this situation.
Those are perfectly reasonable requests.
Post of the day.
It’s absolutely infuriating how many so-called “Americans” are passionate about the sanctity of Ukraine’s borders. The same Americans couldn’t care less about defending our own borders.
I have no wish to experience a nuclear Holocaust over Ukraine.
It’s up to Ukraine to stand up to Russia. And for Europe to back up Ukraine, if they are concerned about Russian encroaching in their backyard. America should stay out. Our leadership is a mess even if we wanted to get involved in the first place.
Except Vlad is in his own country, where NATO isn’t.
