Analyst Scott Ritter: NATO leaders forget about their guilt in the Ukrainian crisis

So he commented on the words of NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana that the organization can no longer fulfill its obligations against the deployment of troops in Eastern Europe.

“The Deputy Secretary General forgot that the conflict began due to the fact that the alliance continuously expanded to the east and crept close to the borders of Russia.

It is the actions of NATO, and not Russia, that are contrary to the fundamental act of mutual relations, ”Ritter said.

Everything he accuses Russia of "was due to the actions of the alliance itself," he added.
