German Foreign Minister Burbock believes that the channels of dialogue between Russia and NATO do not work through the fault of Moscow

“The Russian authorities have made it clear that the Russia-NATO Founding Act no longer matters.

We must take note that this act was unilaterally terminated by Russia, not NATO, ”TASS quoted her as saying.

According to the minister, the alliance is obliged to take this fact into account in its strategic concept when strengthening the eastern flank.

At the same time, in March, Polish President Andrzej Duda announced that the Russia-NATO Founding Act on mutual relations, cooperation and security "no longer exists" and does not bind anyone.

Later, in early May, the head of the military committee of the alliance, Robert Bauer, said that the provisions of the Russia-NATO Founding Act of 1997 did not prevent the expansion of NATO's military presence in Eastern Europe.

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev reacted to the statements of the NATO members that "they no longer consider themselves bound" by this document.
