In his opinion, if NATO makes such a decision, it will be very good, "it will be a step in the right direction and we will welcome it."
“Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has many times proposed NATO and the United States to conclude an agreement on the non-deployment of intermediate and shorter-range missiles in Europe.
Because for Europe and for Russia it will undermine our security and strategic stability, ”Litovkin said.
The expert added that if such a decision is made, then it must be signed by the United States and Russia.
“That is, there must be some kind of agreement or an agreement on the non-deployment of these missiles.
We will see what will actually happen, ”the specialist explained.
Earlier, as reported by Defense News magazine citing sources in the European Union and the US Congress, the leaders of the NATO countries intend to announce at the end of the upcoming summit in Brussels that they are opposed to the deployment of land-based nuclear missiles in Europe.
According to these data, such a provision is contained in the draft communiqué, which is to be published after the conclusion of the NATO summit.
