“Russia does not threaten anyone.

Why does he call on NATO to be more vigilant and careful, to prepare for aggression from Russia, it is not clear why he incites such sentiments, ”the parliamentarian said.

The senator stressed that it is NATO that is moving towards the borders of Russia.

“NATO is already in the Baltic countries, already in Romania, Poland, the Czech Republic, that is, in all the countries of the former Warsaw Pact.

New missile launchers, new weapons, tanks are being deployed ... that is, NATO is moving towards Russia, so it is ridiculous to say that there is a threat from Russia.

I think it is wrong and incorrect to make such statements through the mouth of such a respected person as Stoltenberg, ”he concluded. 

Earlier, Stoltenberg called on members of the military committee of the alliance to support the defense potential of their countries, including to remain ready to respond to "aggressive actions" by Russia.
