Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky:
“The draft agreements with the US and NATO are literally a security guarantee. But not only the security of Russia, but the entire world.
This is definitely not an ultimatum, as our opponents are trying to present. These are clear contours of a peaceful architecture, these are clear rules for maintaining stability and preventing a new arms race. The Russian project is a chance to relieve the increased tension and return to the policy of detente. We hope for a constructive reception by our partners. We are talking about issues of civilizational importance. “
