Moscow will adopt immediate action to safeguard close-border interests, not just military, said the general who called early their entrance to NATO.

He reminded that most of the Ukrainian population rejects the project to join NATO boosted by the political elite while there is nothing definitive on Georgia either.

The general also lashed at plans to deploy the US missile shield in Eastern Europe, which Moscow sees as the largest threat to national security. It seems that some one fears of Russia’s eocio-economic and military recovery.

Russian Foreign Minister Serguei Lavrov rejected the ex Soviet Republics entrance to the military block while Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mijail Kamynin called to bring NATO to Russian borders direct threat to his country.

Kamynin admitted the last one of the greatest problems in Moscow’s ties with Kiev and turn the back to the spirit of coexistence and friendship.
