US media reported on the 26th that because Russia hopes to reach an agreement with NATO on European security guarantees, EU member Poland has expressed its willingness to allow Russian inspectors to enter the country to inspect the air defense facilities of the United States.
According to the "Russia Today" quoted by the US media "Wall Street Journal", a Polish official said that Warsaw is willing to reach a reciprocal agreement with Moscow. In return, Poland wants to allow Polish inspectors to inspect missile facilities in Kaliningrad, Russia. The idea of giving the Russian side access to U.S. facilities inspections in Poland was initially proposed by the Russian side. Russia has repeatedly opposed the deployment of foreign missiles on European territory and said the facilities could launch ballistic missiles into Russian territory.
In December 2021, the Russian Foreign Ministry made security proposals to the United States and NATO aimed at significantly easing tensions between Moscow and Western blocs. In addition to limiting the deployment of troops, missiles, ships and aircraft, Russia has called on NATO to halt its eastward expansion. On the 26th, the US ambassador to Russia submitted a written response to the Russian Foreign Ministry, which the Russian side said "lacks a positive response to the most important issues."
