"NATO's eastward expansion runs counter to the generally agreed principle of the indivisibility of security in Europe. The transatlantic military bloc itself is a vestige of the Cold War," Antonov said.
Among the security proposals Russia has made to the US and NATO is a provision that the military alliance should not be allowed to expand its forces eastward, including to former Soviet republics. US officials have made clear that this requirement goes against the interests of independent states, which have the right to determine their own foreign and defense policies.Previously, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken argued that no one, even during the Cold War and when Germany was unified, made a promise to Russia not to expand NATO's military forces and not to admit new members to the alliance./.
