Moscow : Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov renewed Saturday his country’s concerns towards the North Atlantic Treat Organization’s (NATO) intentions from massing troops on Europe.
He told INTERFAX News Agency that the geographic region which NATO’s troops settled in made it very difficult for Russia to conduct military maneuver to the east.
Lavrov questioned the presence of the NATO troops, saying that the numbers were huge.
The numbers should be set, said the Russian official who claimed that NATO disregarded this call.
Russia will freeze the deal for the conventional troops’ presence in Europe in December 12th in an attempt to free Moscow from ties imposed by the convention.
Lavrov also noted that his country felt sorrow towards the disruption of the cooperation program between NATO and Russia by the U.S., indicating that the step was politically motivated.
