Grushko: there were no objective reasons for preserving NATO in the 90s. The Warsaw Pact, which was “one of the main pretexts” for the development of the alliance, ceased to exist.
According to him, NATO needed expansion in order to preserve it as a Western instrument of influence and maintain its dominance both in Europe and on a global scale now. Currently, NATO,. which was founded on April 4, 1949, includes 32 countries. “It (NATO. - RT ) had no chance to survive,” Grushko said.
