Russian Foreign Ministry: it will not be possible to restore the European security system on the same terms

“They (the West. -

) will have to pay for it as well.

They themselves destroyed the system of European security.

Sooner or later they will have to restore it.

Under the previous conditions, this will no longer be possible, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

The deputy secretary general of the alliance, Mircea Geoana, said earlier that in connection with the special operation carried out by Russia in Ukraine, NATO has no restrictions on creating strong positions on the eastern flank.

In March, Polish President Andrzej Duda announced that the Russia-NATO Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security “no longer exists” and binds no one.

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.
