Russia promises not to attack NATO

Russia will never attack any NATO country, this is understandable to all responsible politicians. That was the statement of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

"There are no such plans in our country. I think everyone in NATO knows this, but they simply use it as a pretext to deploy more technical equipment and battalions, as a guarantee that the United States will continue to keep an eye on this entire area, as before," the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry commented.

Mr. Lavrov emphasized that Moscow believes that the fundamental threat is "NATO's further expansion to the East".

"We consider the threat not to be NATO's existence itself, but to be the way the military alliance acts in practice," Sergei Lavrov announced.

According to the Russian Minister, "serious analysts believe that now the Alliance is trying to seize the pretext provided by the coup in Ukraine, in order to come up with a new justification for the existence of NATO."
