Russian representative to NATO Dmitry Rogozin condemned the Alliance for supporting Islamists in states of Africa and the Middle East. He believes that aggravations should be expected in the summer, RBC reports.
Rogozin believes that worsening of the situation may cause political and military intervention of NATO. NATO interpreted the resolution of the UN Security Council on Libya the way it wanted.
The representative expressed hope that NATO member-states would hear the declaration of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on a US missile shield in Europe. The foreign ministers of Russia and NATO will discuss the issue on December 8.
Medvedev said on November 23 that Russia would abandon the START deal and disarmament unless the US stops formation of the missile shield in Europe. The Russian president also ordered a radar station to be moved. The new Voronezh-DM radar was launched in Kaliningrad on November 29.
Experts say that Medvedev’s initiative killed the reboot of Russian-US relations. Rogozin promised that counter-measures against the European missile shield would not become a new armaments drive.
