While Scholz confirmed that NATO expansion to the east was not on the agenda, everyone knew it was very well, Putin replied that Moscow would not be guaranteed with such a guarantee. “They tell us it won’t happen tomorrow,” Putin said. “Well, when will it happen? The day after? What does it change for us in a historic perspective?
