Grushko: " NATO military tension "

The Russian Federation is alarmed by the fact that NATO moves to the schema of the security during the cold war, said Russia's envoy to NATO Alexander Grushko.

" NATO today goes to the schema of the security during the cold war. It can't not to bother us, because we observed that NATO, if thought about in the past few years as a tool that could be used by the international community to solve common problems, today sosredotachivaetsya at its initial purpose - parry in great danger from the East. Under this task, you will create the proper power And money, " He said on the last working day of the week in an interview to the radio station " Echo of Moscow ".

according to him, today in the field, " which was for decades, probably, the region is very quiet militarily, NATO military tension And creates significant military potential, which changes the balance of power "." And Very important, the implementation of those decisions that were taken in Wales, creating the danger of ideological framing, which would imply a constant necessity of searching the great enemy, " said Grushko.

He noticed that refusing cooperation with Russia, the Alliance will not be able alone to cope with such global threats as IGIL." And if It is not embedded in a broader international effort, It will just lead to further marginalization. For this reason, there is a paradoxical picture for most NATO: NATO today sosredotachivaetsya on non-existent threats, spends resources to fend off any danger that seemingly have in the past And on the reverse side cuts itself from the international brotherhood, " said the Russian diplomat.

at the same time, Grushko said that the danger lies in the fact that " today, NATO provides a vector, which can negatively influence the situation in the field of security, " even if we imagine that the problems that we face today on the agenda will be somehow resolved, And we are very hopeful that the outcome of the fall in Ukraine will be peaceful, in full accordance with the Minsk agreements."
