MOSCOW, September 5 (RIA Novosti) – NATO used the military crisis in Ukraine as a pretext to boost its military presence near the Russian borders, Russia’s envoy to the alliance, Alexander Grushko, said Friday.
“The Ukrainian crisis was used not only to strengthen ties between NATO and Ukraine, but also to grow NATO military muscles near Russian borders,” Grushko said. “Measures are already being taken to ensure permanent NATO military presence in the Baltic and Black seas.”
“In general, I would like to say that throughout the crisis in Ukraine NATO has played an extremely destructive role,” the Russian diplomat said, adding that the country’s actions “contradict the very logic of the political process currently under way in Minsk.”
