NATO is not a threat to Russia.
NATO Spokeswoman Oana Lungescu flatly denied that the Western military bloc was a threat to any nation, dw writes.
Her statement was a response to Russia’s military doctrine that lists the Western alliance as its top security threat. “”Any steps taken by NATO to ensure the security of its members are clearly defensive in nature, proportionate and in compliance with international law,” Lungescu said.
“In fact, it is Russia’s actions, including currently in Ukraine, which are breaking international law and undermining European security,” she said.
She added that NATO would “continue to seek a constructive relationship with Russia, but that is only possible with a Russia that abides by international law and principles – including the right of nations to choose their future freely.”
