The question of Russia’s membership in NATO is a missed opportunity for the Alliance. Such a statement made the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Ryabkov during a briefing broadcast in Twitter Foreign Political departments.
At the same briefing, the diplomat called on the United States to seriously treat the proposals of the Russian side to ensure the security transferred to the American side during the visit of the US Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia Karen Donfrid to Moscow. He stressed that these agreements were not compiled on the principle of the menu.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry published projects of contracts with the United States and NATO with security proposals. The documents indicate the need to prevent dangerous military activities by Russia and the Alliance countries, which would reduce the likelihood of military incidents.
