Why is NATO politicizing Russia's military activities?

NATO's attempts to politicize elements of the Russian Army's activities are due to the need to justify the existence of a threat from the east, which in fact is a myth, - Russia's permanent representative to NATO Alexander Grushko asserted.

"The obvious fact is that we voluntarily sent the appropriate notification through the OSCE communication system, Moscow summoned military attachés to inform them about the purpose of the exercises, about the composition of the forces and means involved, about the duration, the area of ​​deployment. So in fact this issue is artificially politicized, just as NATO politicizes many other elements of the Russian exercises. This is done for the sole purpose of justifying the so-called threat from the east," - said Mr. Grushko.
