The director of Russia's foreign intelligence service says Russia has "no aggressive plans towards Ukraine," APA reports citing BBC.
Sergei Naryshkin tells the BBC's Moscow correspondent Carrie Davies there are "lies in western capitals".
"We’ve seen and we know these are dangerous lies from the other side of the Atlantic," he says.
The intelligence chief adds: "We will insist that our demands [for security guarantees] are based on the fundamental norms of European agreements - European security cannot be divided.
"Security of one state can’t be implemented while the security of another state is vulnerable."
He says Russia will continue to have a dialogue with the US, and all Nato countries.
