When pressed, lie
From Reuters:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to offer Russia reassurance about NATO's role because it is a defensive alliance and any European democracies should be able to join, his spokesman said on Monday.
"Russia has expressed concerns about potential NATO aggression, but we have been clear that those concerns are fundamentally unfounded as NATO is a defensive alliance at its heart," Johnson's spokesman said.
"But we do want to work with Russia to provide diplomatic reassurance on that front. It is not about making concessions as the PM [prime minister] and other western leaders have said all European democracies have a right to join NATO."

Sure
Defense is why NATO has been rapidly eating its way deep into Russia's former geographic buffer zone.
And defense is why the United States and NATO have aggressively been arming the nations on the Russian Federation's periphery with missiles and other offensive weapons.
Defense is also why an unprovoked NATO attacked Libya in 2011 . . .
. . . thereby causing the execution-murder of Muammar al-Qaddafi, and predictably sending that previously economically successful nation into a deadly chaos from which it has not returned.
The moral? — Defense, we can all affirm, is a rapist's best offense
