Prime Minister of Estonia Kaya Kallas. Archival photo MOSCOW, January 13 Estonian Prime Minister Kaya Kallas, in an interview with the French newspaper Figaro, criticized the decision not to invite Tallinn to the talks between Russia and the United States in Geneva. The politician called on NATO to act as a «united front» and take a «firm position» on Moscow. «For a small country located, like Estonia, on the edge of, let's say, the transatlantic peninsula, the main thing is that nothing that concerns us is decided without our participation. & lt; … & gt; That is why we do not like the idea of holding negotiations to which we are not invited, «explained Callas . Also, the Estonian prime minister did not like Russia's proposals on security guarantees with the United States. «Russian claims (the refusal of the North Atlantic alliance to» develop the territory «of the states that joined the bloc after 1997. — Ed.) Are simply outrageous!» — said the politician. Moscow and Washington on January 9 and 10 held consultations in Geneva on proposals for security guarantees that Russia sent to the United States and its allies in December. Following the meeting in Switzerland, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that for Russia NATO's refusal to «develop the territory» of the states that joined the alliance after 1997, obtaining legal guarantees of further non-expansion and refusal to deploy strike weapons near Russian borders is «absolute imperative «. 
» History teaches them nothing. » Details of talks in Geneva disclosed The diplomat stressed that Moscow had explained in detail to the American partners the logic and content of its proposals. According to him, without progress in these three key areas, work on other aspects will be questionable. Even before the talks began, Washington called certain points unacceptable. Russia stressed that the documents are not ultimatum, but it will not make unilateral concessions, especially under pressure. On Wednesday, a meeting of the Russia-NATO Council took place in Brussels, and today consultations will continue in Vienna as part of the OSCE Permanent Council.
