Foreign Ministry: Russia cannot ignore the increased activity of NATO Responsible for the absence of the danger of Russian departments pay attention to increasing the number of exercises of the North Atlantic communities on the borders of the country, said the Director of the Department of European cooperation (DOC), the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Ivan Satanovsky.

According to him, " we have a very good basis documents that we have with the Western countries and in the framework of the OSCE, and the Council Russia-NATO, and other organizations ", RIA " Novosti." They are good in Themselves, there are normal, healthy principles. It is only necessary to carry them out. And among them, the principle of the indivisibility and security, which appears in the documents, but is not legally binding. When We observe the increase in the number of exercise on the perimeter of our borders, promoting military infrastructure Is already physical manifestation of the lack of confidence in our country. It's sad and, no doubt, accounted for our military and other agencies, which are responsible for the lack of danger in the country. We can not ignore It, " said Satanovsky. He said that the hypothetical entry of Ukraine into NATO increases the probability of the cast to " radically change the entire geopolitical picture and not only in the European Union "." This is, without doubt, the strongest blow to the entire security architecture in the EU.

Satanovsky also said that the Russian Federation does not shy away from dialogue with NATO, relations with which are experiencing the most acute crisis since the cold war.

Further Meetings as long as We do not prepare, but It is not This means that We refuse them. Just NATO members must also understand that complete freezing of the political and practical cooperation is difficult to talk about the restoration of long-term cooperation without any effort on their part, " said the diplomat." We are ready. Themselves NATO advanced the principle of an all weather cooperation - " communication in any weather "
