He said the main provisions of the act of 1997. Russia agrees to NATO expansion to the East, But provided That within the new members will Not host nuclear weapons And large military contingents in NATO countries." That is, in fact, was said about the Fact That Americans give political guarantees of security, But no real military content, " said Fenenko. "Now NATO wants It to be revised to place in the entire Baltic and the black sea region from the Baltic sea to Georgia, the largest military contingents and military infrastructure," - said the head of the Department. Here, According to the expert, can be attributed NATO's intention to increase the number of exercises on the Eastern borders.

According to Fenenko, by 2017 Russia from the Commonwealth will be imposed dialogues on the audit of the founding act of the NATO-Russia. in the Baltic States and Poland since last year on a rotating basis based about 600 American soldiers. This fact, As emphasized by the Western media, raises concerns among European NATO allies, such as Germany, which I believe, because It could violate a 1997 agreement between NATO and Russia, in which the Alliance is obliged Not to deploy substantial combat forces on a permanent basis within their countries recruits. first, in April of this year, the head of the Ministry of defence of Latvia Raimonds Vejonis also said That the competent authorities during official meetings in the U.S. capital will ask the U.S. air defense system and the permanent presence of NATO troops in the territory of the Baltic States. in connection with the situation around Ukraine, NATO has adopted a number of measures, which explains the need to provide security of the participating countries.

"It is their (NATO), the official position, which was announced a year Earlier:" aggressive Russia ", " illegal annexation ", " destabilization of Eastern Ukraine ", and Now this phobia on the question of the Baltic States. But what is the point of a Russian attack on the Baltic States? In Ukraine it is clear - There is a coup, the physical danger of the suppression of the Russian-speaking residents - all Not less than or Not more than understandable. And in the Baltic States What? There is No one oppresses the rights of Russian-speaking residents are violated, of course, But It is handled in the routine diplomatic work, for example, in the context of the OSCE, " said Buzhinsky. "NATO decided, under the sly to do What they refrained to do in Accordance with the provisions of the founding act (NATO-Russia), - the expert continued.- Baltic - area of the world, and There really was quite a bit of force, in practice there were No exercises, Not to annoy the Russian Federation. But now they have decided to compensate you ". Anyway, Buzhinsky believes Something original increase in the number of NATO exercises near the border with Russia. "In terms of increasing the number of exercises, This is a normal process - we need to increase the number of exercises. With regard to claims Stoltenberg (That NATO has No plans to cooperate with Russia ) Then This " ritual statements ": as long as Russia will Not change its position on Ukraine, practical interaction will Not be renewed.

Let's see What happens now, " said He. the specialist showed That the fundamental decisions Were taken at the NATO conference in the past year. "There was a decision to increase combat readiness and intensification of exercises, and strengthening of the Eastern borders of NATO - all the decisions Were made. Currently This is a meeting of Ministers of foreign Affairs, which are just confirming What has been taken. I don't see anything new. Can't see any positive signals and negative signals - is a ritual repetition: "aggression ", " until Not change ", "annexation," Buzhinsky.
