Russia's concern about NATO expansion understandable, mutual concessions needed: Expert

Brussels, Dec 9 (UNI/Sputnik) Russia's concerns about NATO expansion and Ukraine's membership in the bloc are understandable, but the United States and its allies will not want Moscow to have a say in Kiev's status, even though concessions are needed to reach a viable solution, Sven Biscop, professor at Ghent University and fellow of the European Security and Defense College, told Sputnik.
On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin in a conversation with US President Joe Biden explained Moscow's so-called red lines, which are the further advance of NATO to the east and the deployment of offensive weapons in Ukraine by the alliance. Putin also expressed interest in obtaining reliable, legally fixed guarantees that the bloc will halt its eastward expansion and stop the military build-up in countries bordering Russia.
Following the talks, the White House said that Biden made no concessions with respect to NATO. However, the US President noted that the US did not plan to deploy American troops to Ukraine or to use unilateral force to counter a potential Russian offensive.
