«Russia will respond adequately and equitably to the expansion of NATO military infrastructure closer to the Russian borders and the ongoing buildup of NATO forces," Putin said at a meeting of the Russian Security Council.
He also said that Moscow clearly sees that NATO is demonstratively strengthening its presence in Eastern Europe.
Following Crimea’s reunification with Russia in March, the alliance has been systematically stepping up its presence near the Russian border, citing the need to protect its members from potential Russian aggression. Moscow has repeatedly expressed concerns over Western pressure on Russia.
- Moscow sees such developments as provocative steps that confirm NATO’s aggressive stance towards Russia.
- Earlier in July, Russia’s Security Council said that chaos in Ukraine may lead to further NATO eastward expansion.
Due to the ongoing political crisis in Ukraine, NATO introduced several measures, explained by the need to ensure the security of its allies. Baltic Air Policing missions have been intensified and additional NATO ships have been sent to the Baltic and the Mediterranean seas. NATO also declared an increase in permanent troop deployment, expansion of training programs, strengthening of early warning systems and improving the capacity of response forces.

Ukraine Ruled By Western ‘Puppets’ - Russian Security Council...
ReplyDeleteUkraine is ruled by the leaders, who lack the ability to act independently and simply follow orders from the West, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said on Tuesday.
"The power [in Ukraine] was seized by Western henchmen, who, in my opinion, have lost to some extent their sovereignty, independency in decision-making, and simply follow orders,” Patrushev said during a meeting of Security Council in Moscow.
Patrushev stressed that the Western-backed leaders disregard objective information and interpret the facts the way that fits their political goals.
He also urged to draw the “right conclusions” from the unfolding events in Ukraine, stressing that the coup d’état in Ukraine wouldn’t have taken place if the interests of “certain Western states coincided with the actions of the Ukrainian government at that time.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting of the country’s Security Council on Tuesday. He stressed that the so-called color revolutions are being employed to change disfavored regimes, or “plainly speaking these are the coups d’état engineered and funded from outside.”.................http://en.ria.ru/world/20140722/191115633/Ukraine-Ruled-By-Western-Puppets---Russian-Security-Council.html
