HAVANA, July 1 (RHC) Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksánder Grushkó reiterated in Moscow this Friday that the results of the summit held by NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in Madrid show that he has returned to Cold War military security systems .
“In my opinion, the most important conclusion we can draw is that in Madrid, NATO has completed the evolutionary turn in its development since its inception in 1949 and has returned to its roots, that is, to the military security systems of the Cold War era ‘ the diplomat explained.
During a discussion with diplomats at the Valdai International Debate Club, Grushko added that this postponement occurred well before Russia began its special military operation in Ukraine, in 2012-2013, the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry reported.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister stressed: “All their military interventions, starting with Bosnia, Yugoslavia, Libya, apart from Iraq, although most countries of the military bloc also participated there, finally Afghanistan, had consequences, to put it mildly, the opposite of expectations.
He also argued that the possible accession of Finland and Sweden to the Atlantic Alliance could lead to a worsening of the military situation in the Baltic Sea region.
Grushkó added that it is hoped that NATO will begin to insist that Helsinki’s main weak point lies in the 1,300-kilometer Russian-Finnish border, thereby justifying the deployment of troops and weapons in the region.
“And all this will lead to a deterioration in regional security, will significantly complicate the general situation in the North, will limit the possibilities of peaceful cooperation, which is now so in demand in this part of Europe and in this part of the world,” the General said the diplomat .
