RUB Stalls as Putin Alludes to Room for Negotiation On Security Proposals

RUSSIA
  • PUTIN: RF SECURITY PROPOSALS ARE NOT ULTIMATUM -
  • PUTIN: WE DON'T WANT ARMED CONFLICTS, SEEK DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS
  • PUTIN: `SOME SIGNALS' THAT U.S. READY TO DISCUSS PROPOSALS
  • PUTIN: NATO MOVES IN UKRAINE `ON THE DOORSTEP OF OUR HOME'
  • Interesting comment there from Putin, showing Russia is open to negotiation on its security proposals rather than them
  • USD/RUB has been ticking higher this afternoon following earlier comments from Putin highlighting concerns about NATO positioning and threats of "military-technical means" to counter these moves
  • these comments soften the initial tone on the matter, but still shows Russia is resolute on its red lines
