Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Says Russia To Create Counter Threats If NATO Turns Down Security Proposals

RT: Russia to create ‘counter-threats’ if West snubs its security proposals 

Moscow's proposal for security guarantees is aimed at averting a potential military conflict with NATO, Russia’s deputy FM has said, noting that the country’s relations with the US-led block have reached the tipping point. 

The comprehensive security deal, proposed to the US and NATO, serves the best interests of all the parties involved, and is designed to avoid potential military showdown through political dialogue, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said Saturday.

“[By proposing the deal] we make it clear that we are ready to talk about how to transform a military or a military-technical scenario into a political process that will strengthen the military security of all states within The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Euro-Atlantic area and Eurasia,” Grushko told the Soloviev LIVE YouTube channel.
