Vladimir Putin said the US and Russia will hold dealings about the Kremlin's complaints against Nato and western apprehensions Moscow will attack Ukraine in Geneva toward the beginning of January.

President Putin said Russia had seen a "positive response" from the US in the wake of distributing two arrangements of draft proposition last week that would basically revamp the post-cold conflict security request in Europe by making Nato vow not to concede any future individuals from the previous Soviet Union, primarily Ukraine.

"The next move's up to them. They need to let us know something accordingly," Putin said at his yearly news meeting in Moscow.

He added that he trusted the pressure could be settled carefully. "We want to see how our security can be guaranteed," he said. "Along these lines, with practically no tomfoolery, we just put it out there by saying that Nato shouldn't move any further east."
