I don't expect any breakthrough from this meeting, but we hope for an earnest discussion, including about the root causes of the crisis - not only in Russia-NATO relations, but ... also about the ones that led to the worsening of regional and European security.

This is about attempts to exercise military pressure on Russia, we will take all necessary measures, precautions to compensate these attempts to use military force.

Today we are facing a NATO military build-up which is completely unjustified, i don't see any possibility for a qualitative improvement of our relations if NATO continues on its path of deterrence and relevant military planning.

Alexander Grushko

We don't see any difference between a continuous, persistent rotation and a permanent presence, the military build-up in center of Europe will not improve European security.

There cannot be a return to 'business as usual' with NATO as long as the alliance does not reconsider its containment policy toward Russia and does stop bloating the myth of a military threat from Russia.
