He further pointed out that Russia “ does not want to remain in a position where (his) security is regularly violated“, making it known that Moscow would soon send the countries of NATO and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) “an official request urging them to specify how they intend to implement their commitment not to strengthen their security at the expense of the security of others”.
The Russian minister, in this sense, felt that Ukraine’s membership of NATO would seriously damage relations between Westerners and Russia.
