The question is what kind of security guarantees, what configuration... The contingent, the map is ready. The military has worked hard. It is not public, where we think... If there is a serious military contingent, we understand how many and where it should be. We are ready for any talks with America and our allies, and if they give us specific answers, as we have specific requests, and a common understanding of the dangerous Putin, then we will be ready to talk to the Russians with our united understanding
