The White House floated an offer to Russian President Vladimir Putin that would allow Kremlin access to key NATO bases in exchange for Moscow de-escalating tensions over its military buildup on Ukraine's border.
The responses to Russia from the US and NATO were leaked to the Spanish newspaper El Pais and published late Tuesday.
The proposal includes discussions about Russia verifying that the US has not deployed Tomahawk cruise missiles to bases in Romania and Poland, contingent upon agreement from those countries.
The overture appears intended to ease Putin's fears that the US could target Russia with the missiles.
The five-page US response also indicates willingness to discuss refraining from installing ground-based missile systems or deploy combat forces in Ukraine if Russia agrees to do the same.
Russia has massed an estimated force of more than 100,000 troops and heavy weaponry along its border with Ukraine, and the US and its allies say an invasion could occur at any time.
Putin has denied Russia is preparing an attack, arguing instead that the presence of US and NATO forces in the region is exacerbating tensions.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
