Relations between Russia and the West have reached their lowest point since the Cold War after Moscow deployed tens of thousands of troops on Ukraine border, raising fears of an invasion.
Russia said Thursday that the United States was failing to address its main security concerns over Ukraine but left the door open to further talks to ease tensions.
Relations between Russia and the West have reached their lowest point since the Cold War after Moscow deployed tens of thousands of troops on the border of pro-Western Ukraine, raising fears of an invasion.
Russia denies any plans to invade but last month put forward demands for wide-ranging security guarantees from the West, including that Ukraine never be allowed to join the US-led NATO military alliance.
The United States on Wednesday delivered a reply in co-ordination with NATO allies, rejecting any ban on Ukraine, but offering what it called a new "diplomatic path" out of the crisis.
