Russia is already taking and will continue to take Measures in connection with the strengthening of NATO's Eastern borders, They will be based on the actions of the Commonwealth, said the permanent representative of Russia to NATO, Alexander Grushko, noting that NATO is using the crisis in Ukraine for the intensive care unit of the Commonwealth to prove its relevance, to increase military activity and increased spending.

" Measures are already being taken and They will be accepted. They will be carefully considered and based on the analysis of what makes for NATO in the region, " said Grushko Russian correspondents.

He said that " no real reason for NATO to deploy additional forces in these areas, significantly strengthening its military buildup and increase the density of the teachings, Not a thing."" NATO logic is largely dictated by the interests of NATO itself, and Not the interests of national security, " said the Russian Ambassador.

according to him, the Alliance already sounded the alarm on the issue that with the loss of Afghanistan as a giant polygon NATO can seriously lose in terms of testing the compatibility of forces, combat coherence, and even then in the NATO program were laid a number of major exercises.

He said that 2015 NATO exercises with the participation of up to 40 thousand people, which will be held in Portugal, Italy and Spain, will be the first exercise of this magnitude since the cold war."
