Proving the United Kingdom to have been right, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the alliance would not send combat troops to Ukraine in case of a conflict.

NATO will send a written response to the Russian proposals for security guarantees this week in parallel with the United States, the alliance's security-general, Jens Stoltenberg, said Tuesday.

"We are finalizing at NATO the proposals. The written document we will send to them later this week. We will do that in parallel with the United States," Stoltenberg told CNN.

According to Stoltenberg, NATO is ready to discuss Russia's arms control, disarmament, transparency on military activities, risk reduction mechanisms, and other issues relevant to European security.

However, he said, "We are not ready to compromise on core principles.

NATO not to deploy combat troops to Ukraine

In a reiteration of the words of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier today, when he said it was not likely that NATO deploys combat troops in Ukraine, Stoltenberg asserted that the alliance would not deploy combat troops in Ukraine.

It is "not a likely prospect in the near term," Johnson had said.

"NATO will not deploy NATO combat troops to Ukraine," Stoltenberg told the American news outlet.

On Tuesday, US President Joe Biden confirmed that no American or NATO military will be deployed in Ukraine.

"We have no intention of putting American forces or NATO forces in Ukraine ... There's not going to be any American forces moving into Ukraine," Biden said.

Moscow has been demanding a written commitment that Ukraine would never be able to join NATO and that the alliance would not place any strategic military equipment in certain countries in the region surrounding Russia.

Russia addressed the issue in the Geneva talks between the two parties, but the West seems "reluctant," the Kremlin previously said.

The West is accusing Russia of planning an invasion of its western neighbor despite Moscow dismissing these allegations.

Russia insists that it has no intention of attacking any country, seeing the Western accusations as a pretext to deploy more NATO military equipment close to Russia's borders.
