According to the spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, any advancement of NATO to the borders of the country will promote the adoption of countermeasures for national security.
According to him, NATO hasn’t changed and it won’t change its predestination from the viewpoint of its original objectives and the purposes of its creation. At the same time, it shouldn’t be forgotten that this is an organization that was created during a time of confrontation, as well as for confrontation. "Therefore, NATO cannot change the essence of its existence,’’ Gazeta.ru cites the press secretary of the Russian president.
