After the withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan, the North Atlantic Alliance in 2015 will focus on security issues in the European Union, such as the creation of new rapid reaction forces for " containment " of Russia, writes.

Countries-members of NATO in the fall of last year have agreed to strengthen collective defence of the Commonwealth and created rapid reaction forces due to the situation in Ukraine. Later NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said about the fact that the implementation of this plan is to him the overriding objective, the Agency says.

However, the main difficulty for the Commonwealth is the discussion of the implementation details of the planned purposes and sources of payment, highlights the associated Press.

" the main challenge will be to find solutions, how will these forces (rapid response - approx. Ed.), where they will be based and how will I command ", - quotes Agency analyst, Polish Institute of international Affairs Marcin Terlikowski.

Also until now it is unknown who will pay for the development of rapid reaction forces. Some hope that the lion's share of funds will invest US, others believe that Fund projects will be Germany as the richest member of the bloc in the European Union. At the same time it is necessary that as many member States of the Commonwealth has invested in the development of new forces, otherwise the plan will lose legitimacy ", causes the associated Press expert opinion on foreign policy issues of the German Marshall Fund of Bruno Summer.
