NATO is flatly dismissing a claim by Russia that its actions and expansion constitute a menace for Russia’s security.
Alliance spokesperson Oana lungescu said on Tuesday that NATO is still studying Russia’s new security doctrine, approved last week.
“That said,” lungescu added, “we categorically reject totally unfounded claims that NATO and its policies constitute a security threat” for Moscow.
The new Russian document, signed last Thursday by President Vladimir Putin, accuses NATO of violating international law and moving its military infrastructure closer to Russia’s borders.
