MOSCOW, September 4 (RIA Novosti) - NATO is taking a course that could
negatively affect regional and global security, despite having no real
grounds for increasing the alliance's activities, Russia's Permanent
Representative to NATO Alexander Grushko said in an interview with
Euronews.
"NATO takes a course which could seriously weaken regional and global
security. On one hand, NATO begins military preparations against
Russia. On the other hand, NATO reduces its own ability to cooperate
with Russia over the problems which NATO cannot efficiently deal with
on its own without interaction with international players including
Russia, " said Grushko in an interview released Thursday.
Grushko has characterized Russia's attitude toward NATO's plans to
increase its military presence in Eastern Europe as absolutely
negative. He added that Moscow has repeatedly expressed its concern
about the organization's increased presence near Russian borders.
"This worries us for many reasons. First of all, there is no ground
for increased NATO activities," Grushko said.
On Thursday and Friday, a NATO summit will take place in Newport,
Wales, gathering 60 world leaders among thousands of delegates. The
summit's agenda will include the discussion of the ongoing conflict in
Ukraine, NATO's relations with Russia, the withdrawal of US troops
from Afghanistan, enhancing the collective defense of the alliance and
the activities of Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq and Syria.
Even though the majority of topics directly concern Moscow, Russia was
not invited to participate in the summit, as, according to some
sources, its presence was deemed "unreasonable."
