Moscow : Russia awaits a carefully considered decision by Poland on the deployment of United States anti-missile defense system parts in its territory, warned the Kremlin ambassador to NATO, Dmitri Rogozin.
The new Russian Federation representative to NATO expressed the hope that the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, carefully consider the consequences of placing 10 intercept missiles on Polish soil.
“We are basing our comments on declarations of the Warsaw government who offered guarantees in talks with Washington, Brussels and Moscow,” the diplomat explained.
The Russian points of view are obvious, resulting in the conclusion of a dialogue before beginning, Rogozin added explaining Moscowós opposition to US plans.
However, Rogozin deplored affirmations by the Polish foreign affairs minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, who did not deny the possibility that his country would accept foreign military bases, according to Interfax.
He suggested remembering that pushing Warsaw to a line of confrontation has always lead to a tragedy. This manner caused the loss of a third of the Polish population during the Second World War, he added.
This horrible lesson will be taken under consideration and assuredly his government will design a foreign policy on the basis of cordial relations with all its neighboring states, the ambassador explained.
Rogozin expressed his hope that there is a will to develop relations of good neighbors, association and friendship with Russia.
