NATO expansion contributes to ukrepleni security, this benefits not only Europe And the USA, But also Russia, said the U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Tefft. " The expansion of the North Atlantic Commonwealth strengthened security in the European Union. This was won by Europe. This benefitted the United States. But not only Russia, in my opinion, also won. I do not think That NATO poses any danger to the Russian Federation. I know That in Russia some think differently, But the fact That NATO is a defensive Alliance. Its main task since Its creation in 1949, was the strengthening of security in the Euro-Atlantic area, " he said in Tefft in an interview to " Kommersant "." We remain firmly committed to the principle that countries have the sovereign right to choose, what are the political, economic And military alliances them to enter. And other countries do not have the opportunity to veto this law.
