MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th December, 2021) The United States and its NATO allies are ready to work with Russia on security guarantees proposed by Moscow and hope to see progress in this direction, US Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan said on Thursday.

The US and NATO are ready to discuss problems voiced by Moscow, and Washington's partners in Europe are also looking forward to engaging with the Russian government on the issues of regional security, Sullivan said in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper.
