She believes that Russia’s aggressive foreign policy is like a child’s hooliganism in a desperate attempt to draw attention to itself.
“It is clear that Russia wants to get out of the isolation of the West, in which it has deservedly driven itself, especially after the annexation of Crimea,” the politician writes.
According to her, Russia’s recent “security concerns” are deeply confusing, and not even all Russians really understand them.
“It is clear that NATO must not give in [Krievijas prezidenta Vladimira] Putin ‘s absurd demands, “Vaidere stressed, adding that today the alliance’ s secretary general Jenss Stoltenbergs rightly pointed out that there can be no question of reducing NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe, and Russia cannot Ukraine or to decide on Georgia’s membership instead of Georgia.
It has already been written that Stoltenberg said on Wednesday after the NATO-Russia Council meeting that the two sides had agreed to hold more talks, although they have significant differences of opinion.
After the meeting, Stoltenberg said that the alliance with Russia had significant differences of opinion regarding the “security guarantees” demanded by the Kremlin, but that NATO allies are ready to meet with Russian representatives again.
“There are significant differences of opinion between NATO allies and Russia on these issues, and these differences will not be easy to bridge,” Stoltenberg said. “But the positive thing is that all NATO allies and Russia are sitting at the same table.”
According to Stoltenberg, both sides “expressed the need for dialogue and to consider the schedule of further meetings”.
He said the Allies had agreed to hold a series of talks with Moscow on various strategic issues.
“Russia was not in a position to agree to the proposal. They did not reject it, and Russian officials explained that they needed time to return to NATO with a response,” Stoltenberg said.
He also warned that Russia would not have a veto over any decision by Ukraine to join NATO, and called for de-escalation of Russia’s concentrated forces on Ukraine’s border.
“Ukraine is a sovereign state, Ukraine has the right to self-defense. Ukraine is not a threat to Russia,” Stoltenberg said. “It is Russia that is the aggressor. It is Russia that has used force and continues to use force against Ukraine. And then they gather about 100,000 soldiers, artillery, armored vehicles, drones, tens of thousands of ready-to-fight soldiers and use threatening rhetoric – so is a problem. “
Deeply concerned about the concentration of Russian forces on Ukraine’s borders, the Alliance has been trying to arrange a meeting between NATO and the Russian Council for months, but this diplomatic path seemed threatened after the espionage scandal in October.
The Council has been used for dialogue since 2002.
Moscow has issued an ultimatum to the West demanding a halt to further NATO expansion to the east, as well as the dismantling of Alliance infrastructure in the so-called new member states, restoring the status quo on 27 May 1997, ie before the first NATO enlargement.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin threatened that if Moscow did not receive the “security guarantees” he requested, he would have to take “military technical measures”.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and other high-ranking Russian officials took part in the talks in Brussels. They went to Brussels after security talks between US and Russian officials took place in Geneva on Monday.
